Test welds / failure comments

[lilranch2001]

Hey fubar don't make me go on the internet to look up personality :drink:
I haven't attacked anybody, all I've done is decline to back down, it's been defense. And regrettable a guy has to defend himself on a welding forum (IMHO). Welding gone more than a day without getting a thread locked why don't you let loose with those adjectives and see what happens?

However, I've been in the shop today, it's been good, real goooood

also:



lilranch you getting what you want?

Naaaa what I want is a pretty little blonde or redhead who lubs me
:laughing:

Slang for "indestructable". I suppose it means bomb-proof. Used a lot mountainbiking, dirt biking, probably other sports. I dont know when it originated but I was mountainbiking in the early 90s.

Bomb proof and probably stated in climbing previous to the early seventies. We used to say "bomber man" in the Valley before 1980, and the 1974 "Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills" refers to this phrase.

Used here with regards to my new 10,000 lb OEM Ford trailer hitch having zero penetration welds and what looks like a cold lap. And quite likely even with these perceived faults, stronger than sh**t.

You needlessly brought up 120v machines with that photo, even though they had nothing to do with the topic and was a way for you to get a shot at a former member.

What former member? And wasn't this thread created "to take a shot" at a current member?

There's a closed thread in this forum that discusses testing welds on coupons heavier than the welder's rating. Further comments covered trailer failures, losing coupons from the bed of the pickup and a weld coupon never killed anyone.

I showed an pic of a trailer hitch weld on a new Ford that has no "penetration", for all the "weld inspectors" to mull over. I thought it fit the topic which was trailer hitch safety.

Now you're defensive too, glad you understand how it goes when members attack. It snowballs and nobody knows when to quit because another member gets it rolling again. Sad thing about this welding forum it was run in an abusive manner for a long time and may take awhile to settle down.

And, it's become even MORE abusive now!

Agree getting more cranky. Hard to lay that at feet of non-participants.

Well......
Most of us are old men, so being cranky comes sort of natural like.......
