Guys at my local union are all making custom fire pits now

It's become a popular way to use extra materials. I built one last month and it was a fun challenge.

Just realized how much time I waste chasing leaks in old pipe joints.

What's your best method for sealing them up quick without a full rebuild?

Double shifts without sleep led to a near miss

I was so tired I almost misaligned a critical weld. Get your rest, folks.

During a shutdown at the mill, I called for ultrasonic testing on all joints, but my lead said it's excessive. Thoughts?
