Pro hitler or pro pedophilia?

Silly question, they’re a libertarian.

(I’m gonna try and reel in my excitement on having someone to rant to about welding now.)

Ah, okay. If you take a grinder to the edge of the material to create a little bevel, it can help get a better penetration on the weld and get a bit of a flatter weld. You’d have to lower your heat a bit and change the angle to redirect the heat towards where the metal is thickest though.

You’re probably fine as is, it doesn’t look like the material is that thick, but with thicker material a small bevel of 1/3-1/2 of the thickness can help a lot.

It’s been a while since I’ve got the chance to talk welding with someone so my neurons are lighting up. I miss it so much. I need to get my own setup arranged because I refuse to do it as a full time job.

A small thing that will help a lot is getting a steel wire brush and scrubbing the site of the weld before you try to strike the arc. It clears the area of the oxide layer and makes it easier to start and get a cleaner weld.

Have you been beveling the weld locations?

Honestly couldn’t help you with the shopping aspect of it, I’ve only really used the welders in my class or workplaces.

That’s really neat! It’s been a while since I’ve welded, but I did go to school for it. If you have any welds you’re not fully satisfied with and want some constructive criticism, feel free to post some close up shots and I’ll do my best to help you out. (I also just like looking at welds)

I’m more familiar with MIG welding than stick, I ditched that shit as soon as I could. Props to ya for pulling this off with stick!

Let the fires of revolution burn bright

They’ve always came across as a thrift store disguised as a charity so they can just take free shit and put a price tag on it.

Oh, if it’s flickering that’s a glitch. I recommend rebooting your system via medically induced coma

I did not spend hours of my life listening to somebody rant about linen in an audiobook to see somebody say Marx doesn't know what the fuck "value" is

Acheivement get: head pats

Yeah but if she doesn't put shit out, people are eventually gonna cancel the subs.

Apparently it did, cause she had to put out a new video 3 months ago. The one prior to that was 2 years ago

Smdh. People are willing to bury sex crimes just because a guy invents time-space

This just means they’re gonna put all the responsibilities onto the US for all the atrocious stuff that ends up being discovered.

I think it looks better in this painting, they should try replicating what it looks like in it.

It’s an extra 10%

Yeah, there’s a reason I don’t work manufacturing anymore. Fucking shithole country I live in.
