or you run a salt spray testing company, and this is your test piece!Stole the idea from "tall" Ed China on Wheeler Dealers. It really works well. It is best to run it on the outside of any radius (rather than the inside and come up short). I bent the radius around a 1.25 in piece of solid shaft in my vice and then heated and bent it to fit after tacking the flat area. First timers luck, I guess!
I found out today, that if you are not a good welder, you had better be a good grinder!! I probably ground off more weld than what is left. It was about the same as my dry wall mud ability!! My reel of 0.030 Mig wire ran out, so I grabbed another reel, put it on and started welding again. It didn't sound or look right. I checked the reel again and it was flux core! So I ground everything flat and will start again in the morning finishing the last piece I need to weld in, then pressure wash, dry and coat it with some rust neutralizer before I put the undercoat on it. I don't know if I will have it ready to put back together at Thanksgiving or not. Maybe I should shoot for Christmas!
Here I go again:Sorry nope, still asking for an account sign in.
