Pipe welding on site where you can't turn the pipe or get at it very well oh and it's ideal if the fuel oil running thru it stays in it afterwards...blowing a gale and chucking it down with rain just to make it interesting

I once had to cut out the cargo pumping lines from a ship that was used to transport molasses.

We used gas axes. Boy did those pipes spit & fart

I got my wormate a beauty.

He was bending over the cut end of a pipe, removing some brackets. When I cut through the pipeworwk further downline, the resulting flash got him right up the Jacksy

I've done a little bit before using some 6mm flat bar which was easy peasy. I've just learned why you shouldnt weld near flamable object though, 1 ruined car sponge later lol.

Although i have another issue now. My dad says there wont be enough space to have both the car and the crap he's put in there as i just have a single garage. Would someone be able to give me the dimensions of the completed car so i can try and prove him wrong?
