This is my very finest muffler mod.
Thinkin about gettin a Chrome plating on this masterpiece :)

I'm a master at those!

Forgot to answer the rest of your question, I tinker around making knives, restoring antiques, etc. I like to mess with colonial-era stuff, I've restored quite a few colonial items. Just hobbying with it. I got too many irons in the fire....literally....lol

Many likes and hobbies and not nearly enough time or $$$ to do them....

A friend of a friend has a forge and makes some good looking knives out of old rail road spikes.

No worries bud. I’m hoping to build a propane forge for knives. I already do stock removal knife making so I’d like to move up and try forging some stuff

You gonna make yours from one piece of metal or multiple layers hammer forged together to make one piece of metal? I've seen the multiple layer job done and made a stronger and better knife blade.

Yes I do and so does work haha. I'm still going back and forth on welding it or bolting it on so I can have a screen underneath it.

I wouldn't try welding that thin of a muffler... these seem to be thinner than 372, etc. mufflers. Plus these are hard to find as it is. No longer made covers...

Brazing it was toying with warpage. I kept the two halves attached to each other to keep them from warping.

Cool I might just go the bolt on route. And lucky me I picked this one up off eBay so if I do mess it up I still have the good one.
