[heidebill]

Thanks for the Video,

[kevinstough]

the only reason that hillbilly weld held is because they use it to load cotton cake baker

Well said E-Rock (Erich). And to all...the thumb is still there a hell of a lot stronger than the factory could have dreamed

[kevinstough]

this guy must be a hillbilly welder wannabe. a true welder wouldnot weld down hill!

please note, every inch of weld in place and that is done correctly will hold 1 tonne (British) ((1000kg))

[gangesexcavating]

some folks are way too uptight over shit, reading these comments I am surprised this guy posts anymore videos now

[8aturner1989]

Your welcome. I would just hate to see someone get hurt because of someones stupidity and incapability of welding....

[8aturner1989]

WOW, that plate isnt going to hold..... Hell, I bet that bitch fell off when he took the C-clamp off!!! E-7018 downhill, really?

Dear Mr. 8aturner1989 (aka the welding critic),

Uhh, actually its still on there. and was still on there after heavy use of the thumb on this job.

Thanks for your concern on this matter, Mr. Expert

Sincerely,  Erich

Maybe the whole damn thing was wrong. But you know what, we are just a couple of people who enjoy doing this in there free time. We don't need some self proclaimed expert telling us what we did wrong. If you really want to use your "knowledge" talk to somebody who actually asked for your advice, Not just on some stupid youtube videos. I put this out here for somebody who might get enjoyment out of it. You might want to work on your temper too. All capital letters? Its not that important man!
