If you let knowledge of that skill get spread around, you will
be a very popular guy.
That was a weak spot on those handles. I've never broken one but
have seen a pickup load that were.

3400 welding handles :o 8)
If I ever have to split my 415 475 445 I was going to call on
ya. To fix my redneck fixes and to do it right with your sweet
welding.
P.S. I lost your # with carrier and phone change. So would PM
first to hook back up. But hopefully I will never have to
split.

So I finished welding up the 2nd broken handle and I am
comparing it to the other one I did before and it looks
different. I did not have the other side of the handle sent
to me so I fitted the 2 broken pieces together I thought pretty
straight. Man was I wrong. I took one of my saws apart and
tried to fit the handle on there and neither one was even close.
So that means I have to break apart the weld or try anyways
and re-weld them again. I am not happy about this and will
never make this mistake again. You might say steam is coming
out my ears.

Well I got off my butt today and fixed those handles I screwed
up.
They were really crooked. I put them on a Poulan 4000 I have
and marked them and cut them in half with a hack saw and then
got them all straightened out and welded them while on the saw.
So both handles are now done and I can ship them back.
