[QUOTE="Pweisbrod, post: 302306, member: 7714"] I'm surprised to hear that he thinks that. As a former tig welder, you have the ability to do some pretty "cold" welds. Especially if you do them an inch or so at a time and move to a different area of the project. A certification test I passed at 19 to weld oil refinery gear required me to weld two 1/2 inch thick plates together without melting a wax line drawn on the metal about 2 inches from the weld. I think your fabricator could do it, it would just take a lot of time. Warp would be incredibly minimal at absolute worst if he did small welds on different areas of the project allowing each weld to cool to room temp before returning to that area. That said, I'm just a knucklehead! :D [/QUOTE]
