yes yes haha i understand that it was a long time ago

flipin hell hey coll lol

ooh allen key set ratchet and socket set and spanner set all metric brake cleaner and spare rag and spare pads and food cos im a diabetic cant forget that stuff

lol! hey and welcome

wow! im spechless that was awsome haha

the reason why i bring this topic up is that i started my apprentice work at a fabrication place local to me and iv been with a bloke who welds ally. and i brought it up and thats what he told me hes made a few mountain bikes himself like but i dont wana cause argument haha! thats a really good explanation

if you let it cool and dont use a major f in high amperage there will be no need to heat treat on other hand you could quench it if need so for extra strength i wana say at this point i didnt say heat treating dont work im jus saying the reason why there is no need i just thaught id clear before some one says heat treating does work haha

noo because when you weld alluminum you match the grade of ally to the same rod or atleast should do so its all the same strength even if it aint the same grade it will still be strong and 100% reliable aslong as the weldor did a good job

heya i have noticed quite allot of people asking about heat treating frames after being welded, but i want to explain why you dont need to heat treat alluminum. heat treating is a process that makes carbon rise to the surface of a metal to harden it and strengthen it. the reason why there is no reason to do this to alluminum is that it dosnt have carbon in unless its a wacky kinda alloy but still you would only heat treat high carbon steel or gun metal wich is basically high carbon steel haha just thaught i would share that and i hope i have helped people michael x

oh my god.... i cant belive it he was a luvly fella aswell r.i.p mate xx

erm...everyone is different but i gueess it wouldnt cost much just for a butt weld over a crack but iff u wanted a plate over it i guess it would be slightly more ask a alluminum fabricator if there is 1 near bye michael

a ?

thats really cool i made a toolbox with acrylic box and perspex opening with gas struts lid i got a b for my work i think i made a mini skatebord but then got told off i would show every one but the teacher threw it away lol

count me in too

lol never new it was gona cause so much fuss no effort was put in haha but i just thaught you know post up see what people say yeah theres so much more i can do with it i can engrave ect ect and make mutiple bollox to make it look cool but its jus a bit of fun really on that note if i made a table out of a old bmx would sum 1 be intrested lol cos i think i may just do that michael

were the bolt hles are i tack welded them and i know it aint pretty it aint supposed to be cos its also craked lol thats why i made this out of it
