Nice evasion . I TIG CI with either strips of CI cut from an old

You do that? WOW!

or with Invar 42 (thanks Dan!) or braze with
brass . I haven't used any but understand there are a couple of
nickel based electrodes that work well .

Incredible!

So tell us ,

And here we go!! After we learn just how bitchen' you are, can I measure
up??

did you preheat
? Cool slowly after welding or peen the welds as they cooled ? Weld
it cold and pray ?

Oh, NO! The hard-hitting questions!

So funny! I don't recall much of what I did and didn't do, but I was
pretty sure that if I casually blew Dan off, he wouldn't be punky
enough to escalate this into a macho-dude challenge.

Hey, Coombs! My anvil is bigger than yours. You're a punk.

Nothing macho about it . You showed up here a couple of weeks ago posting
political drivel . I just wondered if you actually have any metalworking
skills .

No, Dan wanted to check my credentials, and Dan dropped it when I cut
off the opening he was looking for. I figured maybe just a 1-in-5 chance
now that some punk would come strutting forward with a corny "So tell
us..." challenge.

Apparently not . And I don't own an anvil - yet . But I do have an
aluminum foundry ...

Your a cliche. Simpsons characters are modelled after guys like you.
