I'll also offer to edit your work.
You can send it to me at vertrx7@yahoo.com
I use language and the written word as my tools in trade, like you do with your craft.
Once finished, I'll ask one of the moderators on how it should be posted if you so wish.

lol i take it you where touching metal with you skin. if the welder has high frequency and your notot touching metal you can start a arc on your skin and it does not hurt you. its not really a arc per say. it looks like lighting bolts coming from the tungsten to your skin. if your touching metal then it feels like little zap.
if the metal your touching has the ground cable on it then your in a world of pain.

my old welding teacher saw i guy blow his thumb up like a hot dog blows up, split down the center. the guy was showing the trick of starting a arc on his hand to a new guy at the place they where working. his hand was to close to the table the current went from his tungsten then to the table.
the high frequency makes the arc jump from the tip of the tungsten to the metal so you dont have to strike a arc like, with arc welding. also when you tig welding on ac it's used so when it's switching back and forth it wont lose its arc.


up date i finish making the pictures i need for my bending guide. the write up will be done by Sunday. i had a few people offer to edit my work who still wants to.

[warwickben]

i need a place to host the pics and who wants to edit this

in this post ill explain how to bend perfect 90's and 45's.

some math you will need to know when laying out you bends. most benders radius is for the center line of the tube/pipe your bending. if its the out side radius minus half the tubes dim if its the in side radius add .

to figure out how much of the tube is takken up by the bend ie from the start of the bend to the end of bend is simple.
angle x radius x .01745.

so for a 90 bend with a 2.5 radius it would be
90x2.5x.01745 = 3.92625.
to figure out the center of the bend divide by 2.

to layout a 90 bend.
say from the start of the tube to the center line of the 90 bend you need 30 inches. just minus the radius from the dim mark the tube and bend. say you all ready have a 90 bend and you need another one after it. the center line to center line dim is 30. add half of the tube dim then minus the radius and that number will give you the point to mark on the tube if you comming from the out side of the tube.


any thing other then 90's you really need to layout on paper and know some math to make them work.
if you have a print its easy as pie .
