Idk whats going on recently or if people are just lazy, but this whole first page of the fab forum has turned into a tutorial for stuff that has been gone over 100 times and can easily be found in a simple search.

Is the concept of going out in the shop and gettings your hands dirty now too difficult that everyone needs to come online and ask for pics and videos of how to do things?

How about trying and finding the answer you're looking for using SEARCH button, huh? I can guarantee that you can find what you search for in maximum of 30minutes!

4/1 merge collector is 90 degrees some people try 91 do some test runs on pvc pipe around 90 degrees and see what works best for your project.

I'm pretty sure a lot of the threads like these ones, belong to you... don't be rude to someone doing the same thing you have done.

I couldn't agree more with Collin on this one.
Since you started on this site you have asked a ton of questions to everyone here (I have also done that)....now that you began to know a little bit about welding you turned into a ''master welder'' and that's not fair to others that are trying to learn!

I'm actually really dissapointed that you and also Collin dont see the difference....

I always do at leasts a 30min search, before I even start a thread, or PM someone with question... Also I found out how to cut those collectors from already existing threads, which were not hard to find using search...

From what I can tell, this guy didn't even try to invest 30minutes in searching what he wanted to know, thats why I didn't gave answer just away like that.

P.S. RO Sunny... It seems to me that you are quite a bit of an *** licker... I'm just dissapointed that you always try to get in my face for everything I do, in every oportunety you get, even if there nothing to get in face for - like in Collins thread, I can quote if you want... but still PM me with all your questions - and I always answer them...

P.S.S. And OP actually PM'ed me with a dirrect question about degrees which I believe he found with search on "pic of collector jigs" where I stated the degrees I used, and I, of course, answered him...
