    Makes sense, but how am I able to tell if I got proper penetration if I’m going overhead am I just looking for a flat toe like I am doing on a flat surface? And what kind of pattern are you doing in the over head position?

    Little side project today! I don’t have a large sturdy bench space and I needed a vice for ya know vice stuff for the sas so I found this anvil / stand thing and I figured it would work and I could practice welding before I work on the truck. I used 3/16 for the mounting plate and some old...

    this may be a little over kill but decided to clean the knuckle hardware and realized the dude before used a 10.9 black oxide bolt instead of a knuckle stud :/ not sure if it was a trail fix or the dude was too lazy. But I’m going to get new split cones anyway so I’ll add them to the list. I...
