No!
Is that the one in Minnesota that fell a few years ago? If so I have worked for the company that built the new one.

That was one of mine. Cheap company. All I had was a MAPP gas torch and a box of brazing rod.

That's the one. Minneapolis 2007.

Refresh my memory, wasn't it determined that the splice plates on the cross bracing intersections were too small / thin? Something like 3/8-inch thick where they should have been 3/4-inch thick?

I don't remember the details. I just remember "design flaw". In otherwords is wasn't the workmen's fault. It was the engineer.

I'll try this thread first.
Does anyone have a good URL or link to a website that has a table for standard material sizes?
I have a project that needs a few pieces made up and I'd like to sound half way intelligent when I place my order. I'm going to use my CAD program to show the layout and dimensions, but I'd like to be giving material dimensions that are standard sizes.
Thanks in advance.

I noticed the look difference with 6013 vs 6011 as well.
At first when I started using 6011 on my lincoln welder, the welds were really crappy looking, but after a few days of welding I was laying nice strong welds with 6011.
Thought I was gonna use 6013 all the time after the bad welds with 6011. But now am confident welding strong and good looking welds with 6011.
