Be round 14,500 lbs of wire in it once done.

Wow. Another dumb question, is this some kind of oven or what?

Good to be 49 and single ain't it fellas? I hate like hell that my first and only 18-yr marriage failed. No doubt in my mind the Corps and what I went through had its wear and tear on that. I made damn sure, living 8 miles apart this whole time with the ex, we would never *f-word with the kids, nor their heads. Gotta 25-old Navy son aboard the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier working F/A-18 Super Hornets, and a 'know it all' 18-yr old daughter at Georgia Southern University. My gal at school is a pricey one...I wouldn't have it no other way. I never went to college, why I slave away as a DoD C-17 avionics/electrician mechanic on govt airplanes...but it's a fine paying job.

I'm glad my kids turned out ok and that's all that matters in the long run...sometimes fellas I kick myself in the ass for joining the Corps back in the 80's...and all the yrs that passed, and participated in the slaughter I did.

I'm damn proud I served my country in the Corps for many yrs...it was a costly venture though fellas. Ya just had to be there fellas to get the full perspective of just how *f-worded up things got. I acted nothing different than an animal in combat not wanting to come back in a zippered bag...I knew it was the only way I'd ever get back to see my kids and ol' lady.

Sorry for this reply fellas...sometimes I like to get some things off my chest. I appreciate the sounding board here.

you have my number jason and thank you

I agree with what Dave said. Don't ever feel like you have to apologize for venting around here either.

Someday I hope to meet you in person and shake your hand. Wish I'd had the balls to serve when I was young.

It is a forge press frame (Google 2500 ajax)
It is in an oven, when had to pre heat/ hold it 300-450* the entire time we are welding on it.
Once we finish welding it will get stress relieved 11-1200* for 12-14 hours and slow cool.

Thats a whole lotta wire

It is.

Looks like we will hb back in a few weeks after this one,to do a little one. 3k worth of wire ....

I signed my name Dave on the contract back in the 80's...I hate like hell some of my fallen Brother Marines didn't make it back...as well as Navy, Army, Air Force. If it wasn't for the age restrictions, I'd go back tomorrow. I'd love to slaughter those ISIS *f-worders. May sound sick, but once killing a man is in your system...it's in your system. Don't know if you can understand fully and comprehend on that level, what I just said...I'd love to obliterate that disease right off this planet.

Thank you Jason for your service. I couldn't agree more with what the guys have said. I have the at most respect for the men and women who protect our freedoms.
As I watch my kids growing up I often think about all the great sacrifices others have made for my family and for that I say thank you.
