Using the right size rod really makes a difference. 1/16" seems to work well. Most important it turns out is "normalizing". The weld must be allowed to cool and then be gently heated to a dull red. thanks all -------- Dan O Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=454590#454590 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 09:20:39 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: off topic 1920's project book From: "wheelharp" This is WAY off topic, and an extreme long shot at best, but I figure if any group has an understanding of 1920's diy, it is the Pietenpol gang. I got a book from my dad when I was a kid, it was his in the late 20's or early 30's, but it looks to be printed in the 20's. It never had a cover since I got it in 1977, but this book is the foundation of my interest in building and flight. There were several patterns for model aircraft I built many copies of. Even though the book was written 4 decades prior to my being born, I developed a strong bond and appreciation for the ingenuity of my fathers generation. I had never heard of Bernard Pietenpol while looking at this book in the 1970's, but now can appreciate that he and this book represent the "stuff" that created the greatest generation our nation has ever seen (in my opinion) Does anyone recognize any of the attached photos? I have seen similar books published under "The Boy Mechanic" series, but none appear to be my dad's childhood book. It would mean thecworld to me to finally see this book in it's entirety. -------- Jon Jones Ironton, MO Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=454598#454598 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/1459916047907_174.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/1459915931700_179.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
