Posted on

Ed Woosley, owner and head fabricator at Force Fed Engineering shows you how to properly lay down a line and get ample coloration from your welds using basic procedures. Merge Collectors for turbo manifolds are sometimes looked at like a secret among fabricators across the land. While generally you can say there are many ways to build one, everyone has their tricks, likes, and options. Ed walks you through some of his 4 cylinder collections here.

Tig’d Up Tuesday Review 1-07

Posted on

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.
