Hurray! All my music is foxtrication! Some of you die hard description readers will remember that from a few vids back. I guess that's how I'll describe music with no credits - foxtrication.

    I went to work at a shortline about 5 years back . I have 25 years in hands on all aspects steel fabrication experience They hired me to build their fabrication skills and put together a shop tied to the mechanical department . But had to put me in exsisting department that had an opening. Which was in mechanical.. I took the job becuase of the apeal of the benefits. I designed and built spark arrestor attachment pipes for gp38 locomotives with 2 stroke engines. Which can throw some serious fire up in the air. I think I will just say it was Interesting working for the railroad..fun at times even. I made it 3.5 years found out my mechanical manager was actually trying to pass my skills off as his own. Which has zero of at all in the fabrication world . And was succsesfull enough to get a regional promotion about 6 months after I quit. He is good at stealing knowledge from many people in his career. I can't say I miss railroading

    Love watching this kind of work. I do this kind of work for a living so I take quite the appreciation in seeing others methods in figuring this stuff out. I'll be working on an x pipe configuration for my 98 grand Cherokee with a 5.2 V8. I think what's going to be best in my opinion would be a combination of the splayed x portion @ 45* spread and 45* turns to capture the end and make parallel. I tend to like this style of X-pipe for the best flow characteristics as the merge portion is done in a straight section of tube versus a radius. However, packaging is king and sometimes that don't always work. Thanks for the awesome content Justin!

    Austin, another quality video, chuck full of information with little easy math. Great Italian bandsaw with the motor mounted on a gear reduction gear box, plus water-based cutting fluid. I saw what appears to be a 220 volt sticker. I bought a MIG in 1984 build in Italy by the largest manufacturer in their country, still works fine today, but no TIG. Being forced to retire way early, I will own one. I know what’s like to run out of shield gas, why does it always happen on the weekend. Plus, I have seen the cost for 25/75 from $28.52 in 84 to $112.18 just in late 2019 and have every receipt in the file cabinet. Keep up the good work. As a long time subscriber, I guess I will never understand a dislike. ? ASE Master Tech since 78 - Retired

    A much faster and accurate way to get a centerline on tubes is to take two pieces of tubbing of the same diameter, clamp or tack them together at the ends, take a straightedge or similar, lay it over perpendicular to the lenght and drag it along the tubes. Flip them over and do the other side. Boom! Lines on exact center exactly opposite each other!

    Just a tip from a US standard to metric convert. If you use a metric tape to do all your measurements the math gets much easier Instead of trying to figure out 1/3rd of 2 9/16" you just figure 1/3rd of 90mm. You can do that in your head, ez pz!!! Still a great vid on how it's done. I'll file this one away for future reference.
