![]() "Proctologically Violated©®" wrote in message ... Awl -- Everyone should get a kick out of this. They ref the price near the bottom of the page. $2.50/weld, in production, no less! 1/8" tube, .022 wall !!! Holy ****.... http://www.skimpyoilskimmers.com/24632.html Old advice from a very very good sheetmetal house in the Bronx, NY, was: avoid welding like the effing plague, iffin you want to keep the price down..... Altho, clearly, in things like cars, a net savings occurs. But with near-billion $$ capital investment. Y'all might find this place useful as a source. The sejw peeple should be mightily impressed -- much more impressive than welding alum beer cans, imo With .022 walls, I imagine the filler wire must be what, .010?? Holy ****..... Also, with .022 walls, those welds look a little like over-kill, no? Oh yeah, this is the company that makes the belt oil skimmer that I'm likely to be buying, for about $99 -- the 3/4" x 9", it seems. This is also a good example of a general machine shop (perty high end, it seems), hedging their survival bets with their own product line. Good show, imo. Altho, the name Technical Renovations is just a little too artsy-fartsy and moonbeamy for me..... -- Mr. PV'd Mae West (yer fav CongressShill) to the Gangster (yer fav Lobbyist): Hey, Big Boy, is that a wad (of cash) in yer pocket, or are you just glad to see me??
