Ok I need an opinion or thought.
I picked up the pipe for my stack today. I got a good deal on a 6in x 40" piece of steel tube. My concern is that the stack is going to be to heavy for my tank to hold. My tank walls are only 1/8th thick. The pipe is pretty heavy. Does anyone have a thought on...
Dave Thank you! I understand that now. I checked out a couple videos and I see what you are saying.
Well I am off for the week so Hopefully be able to get some things done. taking one welding lesson this evening so we will see!
Thanks dave, I think I understand premise behind welding seams, but I am now confused on what a bllind weld is, what a slot weld is and what spot weld is. I really know nothing about welding, so please forgive me asking so many questions.
Are you saying that I can use 18-20 ga flat bar for door...
I was curious about that Dave, I wasn't sure if it was better to weld the entire seem or just tack them on like you said. In general, what is the best practice on when to weld an entire seem or when a tack is sufficient? Thanks for the heads up though!!

So, I am not sure where to post this maybe a different site all together but just want to see if anyone had any knowledge for me.
For my smoker build I am turning a 20ft boat trailer into a flat bed/bbq trailer.
My question is what would be the recommended material to accomplish this?
