Welding on the frame

Fabrimicator guy. I will say this, as a fellow young guy in the Weld and Fab game ( 24 years old), you need to shut the **** up. If it really is respect and awe that you are after, telling old timers what they should be doing or what they should be thinking will get you no where. Let your work speak.

Also, just because someone has been doin it for years, doesn't mean they are better than a young kid. I know a few guys that have been doing it for 30 years and just got lazy it seems. They posses the skill, but just don't give a crap anymore it seems.

I'll alwys give someone the benefit of the doubt and let their work do the talking. Sometimes it worksout for that person. sometimes it does not. Regardless of their experience or age.

Can you point out where I told old timers what they should be doing??? Read the whole conversation before you jump in please. In my eyes all I did was respond to someone questioning my fabbing knowledge/ability/skill.

I'm not after respect and awe in that manner... but when questioned, I tend to answer.:wink1:

EDIT: I just read the whole thing again and I can see how I came off that way... I over reacted and should have just left this one alone.

?? I posted in the wrong thread???
 
You know, on paper I'm the awesome-est fabricator on the planet, bar none, if you can decipher my drawings. But when it comes to the actual semi-finished project, it looks like a 1-eyed, drunken monkey with a learning dissability tackled it.


Props to all of you that can fab up and actually use with confidence the stuff you make.
 
I should open a shop called "One Eyed Drunken Monkey Fab".....Or maybe just "Drunken Monkey Fab". That would be soooo awesome!! :haha::haha::haha:

**** that!

That truggy needs to have it skirt lifted. Rockers are way too low and should be accompanied by curb feelers and gold daytons.:p:

Maybe flat black daytons?:confused:

I agree on the rockers, I'm thinking a little more "boatside" on mine, but I do like the cage work.

Hiding... my membership ran out, I'm not working on the Blazers much anymore, I actually sold the Diamond Plate Warrior to JeremyK5. I still have the silver blazer but I don't have it at my new house, its still up at my parents with all the tools. Got a new house about a year ago and have been working on it, getting married in October...

So what have I missed?
