THe NAC Lots-O-BFG KO2 Thread

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I just like it, I'm a little bit of a creature of habit, I learn something and usually like to stick with that.

I'm the same way.

Though if something is that much better that it's worth going through the effort of learning, I can usually be persuaded.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Same. Then I'll wonder how I ever got along with the old way.

I think a good analogy in my eyes of TIG vs MIG is this. MIG is like driving an old Cadillac coupe de ville, around a race track, and TIG is like driving a Ferrari.

Plus, with TIG you don't have that annoying sound like you're frying bacon in grease. (besides all the other previously mentioned things, like splatter) TIG has a nice "husshhhhhhhhh"
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Spray transfer mig welding kicks ass. Super fat bead, "hushhhhhhh" sound when doing it right, and no spatter.

And on that note, going to stay up at Bretton Woods for the night and snowboard all day tomorrow. Peace!
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

No, its annoying because you aren't actually making bacon. Its like a tease, your hearing is telling you that bacon is frying, then you realize you aren't, you're actually welding, and you don't have bacon in front of you, so you get angry.

When I'm welding, I want to know I'm welding, not be lulled into a false sense of bacon making.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I stick weld, while eating bacon.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Place the bacon on your workpiece and you can make bacon while welding.

I have nothing to eat, I need five guys or burritos.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Ken, porous welds are very easy to get in TIG welding if the material isn't prepped well or isn't of good quality. We had problems with porous welds on our SMV car at umass because some of the aluminum we used was super cheap and had tons of other crap in there.
ah, good to know. Surprised no one called me on the way I said both are controllable, too, since what I actually meant is that both are controllable while welding instead of from the front panel of the welder.

When I'm welding, I want to know I'm welding, not be lulled into a false sense of bacon making.
its even worse when you get burned by weld spatter and it smells like you're cooking bacon too.

real men stick weld sheet metal, or atleast try to

I stick welded an exhaust on a friend's honda in college. He was broke, and so we went to autozone and the junkyard and scrounged up enough stuff to make an exhaust. The process used was tack-tack-tack except it was a 50 year old buzz box and all I had was 1/8" 6018 iirc. So mostly it was chunks of welding rod stuck in interlocking piles... the welds were like 1/4" tall and ugly as sin. They were so porous water dripped out of them when he started it. It passed inspection and lasted till he got a paying job though :gee:

And now I own a fluxcore/mig welder and don't suck quite that bad anymore.

I HAD _____ FROM FIVE GUYS FOR LUNCH!!!!

There's a lastara joke here somewhere. You're lucky I have to play nice with this edit feature.

:D

This comment thread made me laugh:

When I'm the boss, violation of 5-1-3 urinal docking etiquette will be punishable by termination

since you are the boss and all...why not just restructure so stalls and urinals alternate?

I always think of it as an algorithmic challenge. Maximize the total distance from other men at the wall, while also maximizing the distance from any individual man. Unless your at the trough at Lane Stadium, in which case all bets are off.

From a design build standpoint, I think it would be more efficient to have all the urinals on one side - as usual. However, run the divider panels from floor to ceiling. Increased privacy and no issue with urine splashback getting on your shoes from the guy next to you.

trough - that way everyone knows who the real boss is AND you eliminate the splashback on your shins and shoes.

Not a big fan of washing hands either.

boys are gross. especially when you're the one that has to change the pink tablet in the urinal. yay high school and college jobs. (and possibly post graduate degree jobs if teacher jobs don't start opening up)
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Oh yeah.

Here's the list of stuff:
1 Jet JMD15 mill/drill with stand
2 Wilton 14 inch vertical bandsaws
1 Southbend quick change gear lathe, 10 inch
1 jet belt sander and disc grinder
21 hose reels by central pneumatic, 50ft hoses

might be interested in some of these... more info as it comes along?
