...and so on and so on. You can weld like that, but you can't figure this stuff out? I took the last ] out on each of those so you can see the format without that actual pictures. Are you seriously having issues with this? You must be posting pictures strangely.

The problem is that he's uploading the pics as attachments, not hosting them from somewhere else. Which I wish he was so they weren't so dang big. Even on my 22" monitor they're huge. So I don't think he can put notes between each pic.
sbkcocker499, if you host your pics from somewhere else the forum would automatically resize them to fit the screen and then IF we needed to see the pic any bigger we could just click on it.

After i get this all welded up then i dont have to wait anymore. Since the aluminized pipe doesn't need a backing gas i can just weld and roll.
