Pipefitter[1], Pipe-welder, Highly Educated Prole, and technology enthusiast.

As of Sept. 1st 2013 I am unavailable, I am on a project. So I can't help out or teach welding.
I am a traveler-pipefitter[2], this means I may not be in the Chicago Area (let alone the country) at all times, email me for post-card.

AKA the big ugly spud gun
Fellow Member Celtwolf and I were discussing the power racing series, someone said wistful comment of: "I wish we had t-shirt cannons like nascar" And I said "okay".
Neither of us know what we are doing exactly, My skills of a pipefitter have caused this project to be built out of sch80 pvc (ugly grey) to be a safer build then what I have seen on the internet (sch40 tends to blow up after repeated abuse)

Making various things on the maker bot, because it is a easy learning curve and I lack the basic 3D modeling skills most have.
Tools: I have stuck to the easy Makerbot supplied tools and am learning to fiddle around with basic settings by trial and errors.
I have learned something from each of my printer failures, well maybe not from the last one. I was too busy laughing at how bad and funny looking it turned out.

If you need something welded up and have the parts cut, cleaned and prepped; no problem. We can schedule something usually.
Want to learn to use the Lincoln Eletric 125HD WeldPak (Mig welder) and have 3 hours to kill? Just need some advice on technique?
When I am at home and between projects I have time to kill, when I am working usually I am gone and working 50+ hours a week. I will list on top of page if I am in town or not.

+ 13 years pipefitting. 5 years traveling, 6 years happily divorced, 2 years DEBT-FREE!
Finished formal union trades apprenticeship. Educated Union member (no I won't talk politics)
Welding Certifications: 6g x-ray on Stick, Tig, Mig, and Combo. for Carbon and stainless.
My hobbies are: Practical uses for RFID/NFC, 3D printing (read Makers yet?),Body modification, and locksport.
