I appreciate your humbleness though Kevin, I have followed several of your builds over the yrs, I like the way you do things, always open and honest. Call a spade a spade.
I’ve got nothing to gain or lose, as I don’t port saws for extra $$$. I do it when I have time and when I feel like it. I’d rather post up my mistakes in hopes that at least one guy won’t repeat it/them because they laughed at me while I struggled through something.
Box arrived, I finally have something that won’t booger up my wheel !!!!
Don't let the pretty final products fool you, I'm even more of a grinder as I am a welder!
Yeah, I’m doubting that anyone, including me, believes this. You are one talented and helpful guy, and I believe that it’s safe to speak for all members when I say that we’re grateful and much better off with you around here.
"Grinder and paint, makes me the welder I ain't"!
You too Joe, are a special guy ! Probably the most thoughtful and generous guy here. Don’t think that some of us don’t know how much help you freely give, and how much you’ve stretched yourself for these fine members over the last few years. You deserve better than what I can do to say thank you, but I’m going to be doing my best for ya !!!
Build is looking good Kevin. I’m with Angelo on the spinny thingamajig pics...saw mod porn. Need to get one of them someday.
Thank you, and yes, yes you do. You’re attention to details and methodical methods that you’ve shown us, will only serve you better as you grow your arsenal of items to make chips. I look forward to watching your first full, in house, port job. Until then, if I can help you, lemme know
I got a grinder, torches, plasma cutter to make me look like a fabricator.
Shep
Haha ! Me too Shep ! Mee too !!!
This will make you feel better about your welding skills. Im not too proud to show my hack flux wire muffler train wreck. Functional yes, uglier than bag of smashed a**holes, hell yes. Lmao!
Flux core = splatter and craters
Mufflers, especially old used ones are difficult, at best, to weld on. I don’t see any blowthrough and I do see good, solid, overlapping welds. I’d be proud to run a muffler like that from you, it won’t melt plastics from pinholes, and wont rattle loose like screwed on deflectors. Nice work stitching flux cored wire !!!
