ok, well you can, I just can't find the picture I have of it.
When they were welding up all the headers in my dads old factory he was setting up, they had a huge welder they brought in on a semi. was a good 6 feet tall, 12 feet long, least 4 or 5 deep, it was huge. Had like 14 outputs on it and god knows how many feet of welding lead with it.

ok one last question and i think i will be ready to start burning metal! would you guys tear the axle back down and remove the seals so as not to cause problems later? or you think i can leave it all assembled?
o yea, i need a good way to measure the temp of the heated metal before and after the welding, whats a good way to measure that? will one of those hand held infrared thermometers measure up to about 1000*?

My welding teacher at a vocational school I went to after regular highschool was an absolute nut case. Every day we had to show him what we did and get graded on our work. One day this kid (real moron) was holding this piece of 3/8 plate with what looked like strings of snot on it instead of welds and kept complaining "hurry up its hot." My teacher grabbed the metal with his bare hands and licked it. No chit!
he was one of those "Im 65 years old and Im not using the few marbles left rattling around in my head to worry about retards" kind of guy.
So Im sticking with touch it!
