This is the part I hate the most, in the last few days I have actually gotten quite a bit done on these with tons of welding and they don't look any different!

If I take pictures with my phone in the normal upright position this is what happens, if I turn my phone sideways every things fine. It seems backwards to me.

[quote="KenV"]Smoker defense system.


I like that statement, you know I've seen those nails welded to stuff over the years and never saw how that was done. I mean I know it is for the insulation, but it seems like there must be some "cool tool" for that right?

Yep, and it's even shaped like a gun! I'll take a pic tomorrow, pin spotter gun. I found out today how hot those little metal pins get and how long they stay hot.
Soilhunter, thanks!
