4. If you submit and we feature, comment on the post. People will ask questions.

Fabrication Life fans, we need your opinion! We posted the photo below yesterday, and we all were obsessed with it. Everything about it screamed BAD ASS! Spending the day with the materials to make this happen is even worse because we got that itch. You all know the itch… it’s a curse!

As you know Solidworks is one very powerful program. Inside, you are not only the creator, but you control all elements. You can do anything, move anywhere, bold any surface.

Tig’d Up Tuesday is that day when our Fan Page goes crazy. We get messages right and left and we post tons of work people send in. There is no method to our madness on this day, no strategy, no timing structure, and no perfect weld to send. Some days we will only post the best work, and some days we will pick 1-3 photos which need critique, or in which a welder needs advice, and we will post them for the crowd. What we mean basically is we have no exact process for Tig’d Up Tuesday.

We also have a new “How-To” post for those of you looking for better weld prep techniques. This post has gained strong attention.

With that said, here are the photos we chose last week.
