I see you are taking this to the board.

Well, if you want to start shit, make sure you have shit to throw.

I made that pipe using an ARC welder. I don't know if you've ever used an arc welder on tubing, but it's like trying to eat soup with a bayonet.

It just doesn't work.

I use MIG now, and my welds are just fine.

"im not being a jackass... i just dont like paying ANYTHING for SHIT... i could have made it cheaper... i though it was professionally made... like the one you can buy on ombw..... if i knew it was home made and this shitty i wouldn't have bought it is all im sayin..."

This is a PM he sent to me, regarding the pipe I sent to him for just the cost of shipping, for which he sent me $12. I paid $17 to ship the thing to him.

"If I send the pipe back its gunna be more than 12... so i would be losing money if i did that... guess i'll sell it to some other sucker.."

This guy is a jackass, just an internet tough guy.




Ben Maclsaac, please go die in a hole.

Thank you.

Now, if were using 1/8th rod, on a HF arc welder running at 90 amps on 110v power, how hard would it be?

Keep in mind I've never had a single person show me how to weld.

And yes, I know that your comment was directed at smoky.

Hmm, 90amps is on the low side for 1/8th rod and far too thick if rod, depending on the size of the tubing = lumpy welds and holes in the tubing. For most mini bike related pipes 3/32 is pushing it, but is much easier to control over 1/16 even if you run the risk of burning holes.

Get a plastic deadblow hammer.

Write "Dammit" on the side in your color choice of permanent marker,

When angry, pick up the hammer, find the nearest concrete or asphalt surface, and hit it repeatedly with the hammer while screaming:



"DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT!!!!"
