Gotcha fbrieden!!!
"Your wrong for posting your question here at this time." Quote from fbrieden... I seem to remember as if it were yesterday when fbrieden got on my case for complaining about another poster's lack of spelling skills while not placing an apostrophe at the correct location in my own reply... Well fbrieden, here's my turn to correct you!!! the correct spelling should be "You're" instead of "Your!!!" Do you agree??? I thought so!!! This just shows proof that NOBODY IS PERFECT!!! Not even you fbrieden!!!
An old friend of mine once told me that the closest anyone will get to becoming perfect is two minutes after they throw all of the dirt over ones casket in ones grave!!! I asked him in response "Well, what about if the person prefers to be cremated???" He replied " In that case, it's when they put the cover over the urn filled with the ashes of the deceased."
The man was a genius!!! He was also one of the best counterfeiters the ATF had to put up with before the days of digital duplication!!! A tool and Die maker like Dave Boyer and yet, even he wasn't perfect because after all, he got caught being imperfect!!! Therefore, I propose that we all stop being so hypersensitive when someone makes a spelling or grammatical error or two when they're posting!!! At the very least until there is a more thorough spell check function for this forum. ;) Besides, where does it stipulate in the forum's rules and regulations that any person posting MUST be grammatically correct, or at the very least, have perfect spelling???
One can use the option of correcting grammatical or spelling errors by typing their query or response first in a MS Word .doc, and then correct any realistic errors... Once that's performed, one simply needs to copy & paste the .doc over to the text box here... Most of the time it works for me but on some occasions, some mistakes are overlooked by either the person typing or the feature itself... However, some folks aren't "up to speed" in using this option so, if anyone wants to know how the spell check function works in this forum, just look underneath each word after one finishes spelling it... If it's incorrect, one will find a line of tiny red dots evenly spaced underneath the misspelled word. :) :) ;)
Well then, now that everyone is better informed regarding the virtues of being imperfect, let's get back to concentrating on how we can best help out EVWELDER in his query which does indeed lack some very important information required from most of us to realistically provide some guidance or advice so this person can go about completing the project. ;)
EVWELDER! Is there any way you can post some pictures here showing us exactly what your (Correct use of the word!) concern is regarding the gap of approximately 2mm???
Also, we need to know what welding code or standard you folks are working from, welding process, mode of transfer, filler material & diameter, welding parameters, fit tolerances, etc. In other words as much pertinent information as possible otherwise I'm sorry but, none of us can actually read your mind from a remote distance like Tokyo, Japan or next door for that matter!!! I mean, If I or anyone else were capable of that on a consistent basis, we would certainly NOT be in here giving or seeking advice!!! We would be making a ton of money doing something completely different like cashing in on predicting the lotteries, or cleaning out casino's of their cash for a living - if you catch my drift!!!;)
So please send us some more detailed information, and we will try our best to help out if we can. :) :) :)
Respectfully,
Henry
