I was taught how to weld back in 10th grade, it's not hard at all. The main problem I foresee is with everything welded together, how much more of a pain it becomes to install and remove the ducting becomes. Unless you're doing a basic short ram you'll still need couplers anyway. I agree though, welded looks a lot more professional.

QUOTE (Box @ Mar 21, 2013 - 12:25 PM)  I was taught how to weld back in 10th grade. Guess I should have taken that instead of woodworking.... I'm sure anyone can learn to weld something, and it not prove difficult, but I'm sure there are many differences between trained/experienced welds compared to someone like me throwing money away trying to learn. Just like how I'm very critical of soldering jobs, and wire connections. I've seen a million solder joints by many engineers that I would be ashamed of it they were mine. So all in all, I would resort to the simplicity of a coupling instead of saving a few pennies on the dollar to weld it together. Though it does look much more sexy. |
