amazing......... two CWI's looked that these same pix......... and they gave them the thumbs up
I suppose I can send this link to them and have you explain to them why they don't know as much as you about the subject

better yet....... why don't you post some up close pix of your welding and not somebody else's

No that fine welding is mine........ post some of yours
I don't think I need to ask anyone........ are you or have you ever been CWI? Your pals you mention?
I wouldn't expect anything more from a guy that can't even measure a springer

well they are great autogenous root face passes with a less than machined fit up
overkill for the application and once the rest of the pieces were completed and added........fill beads added
good for a nuclear blast
now try and replicate those tiny beads Trent......
that half inch tubing is 40 thou wall and those allen heads you see are 1/4-20
fit up done by hand
doesn't matter....... you can't
and those were all even done on a transformer machine

did these within 30 minutes of ever touching a tig

I caught you? Looks to me like you caught yourself........ now drag this out and I'd love to see you match what I do anytime you are ablerockymtnpits said:
and I've raised the bar way beyond your bolt together builds
long ago
I know you'll respect, envy even, the next two coming together just as much as you have my flatty that got a front cover
and on it's own merit....... not because it pandered to any advertisers....... because it didn't pander to nary a soul with anything to sell.......
oh...... wait a minute....... it has a 25 year old Paughco springer on it and I forgot what brand brake shoes
now how often does that happen?
never for you and very seldom in the world of motorcycle magazines
good luck Trent and let me know if you'd ever like to borrow one of my many never been done ideas
because I've still got plenty I'll likely not find the time to use but at best I'd only share with you the concept so you'd need to brush up on some basic engineering skills....... because in my world ya don't just open up the catalog and bolt other people's stuff together........ and it goes far beyond making just a simple tab here and there
I didn't "come here" to bash anyone nor did I "come here" to take any bullshit off Trent or anyone else.
I do what I do and I don't have to have one concern for promoting myself or my works.... because neither is for sale. I know that just grieves the hell out of many.
I don't however, mind sharing what I know and have learned the hard way with those who ask and are interested in learning because I am very fortunate to have many who are masters in their fields willing to help me when I need enlightening....... and that all stops when one stops giving back.
It's easy enough for any objective person to see what is smoke and what is fire.
Thanks guys.

really good looking stuff and should be an easy sell to folks that wanna spend or have no desire to do it themselves
I'd say any frame designer would give the thumbs down to the headstock gusset on that frame...... it does however...... look damn good to the eye
but weld beads....... lens at 4 inches or so
steady hand
because you can't tell anything about those beads in that shot although I'm sure George is a fine welder/fabricator
I sure don't claim perfection
just hard to tell anything about those beads from that distance and there are some things that leave room to question them being perfect
like are those fisheyes or reflections?
are the beads flat?
for those that haven't ever tigged such a weld joint......a fillet.... it doesn't get any easier than laying in the rod and walking the cup straight down the line...... and with a pulse machine...... you can just about do it in your sleep..... one handed even
and a good cnc machined fit-up and whatever you are welding jigged...... sure makes it just that much easier so if you are hand fitting one off stuff and don't have the time or money to make a jig...... don't be discouraged if you blow a hole in something here and there or don't have a flawlessly consistent bead from start to finish....... in that respect...... the guys doing pipeline or NASA type work have things much easier than a garage guy whittling out one off or reverse engineered metal pieces by hand and eye
I have some robotically welded electron beam stuff and man...... it's impressive...... but far removed from the hands on craftsman
I do get a chuckle when I see internet threads saying how nice welds are when you can't even see them...... or one like this when "somebody" would attempt to detract from very acceptable and very visable unpassivated beads because...... well who really knows what's wrong with some people?
