Re:Another DIY Manifold.
 

I think i might have to jump on the making your own manifold wagon when i get home. it seems pretty easy if you have a little patience and are willing to do a little trial and error work. :P


serisouly though, i think im gonna try making one.

thanks for the compliments steve :) I did do a lot of homework ;)
Yes, everything is sc 10. I got the 6f straight section, they gave me a 7f piece for the price of the 6f piece. Sc 10 is more than perfect for this type of mani. It will just sit like that for a while because I'm returning my pos mig and with permission from the wife I'm getting a tig.

that is a beautiful DIY manifold. McMaster rocks! I get really cheap stuff from them since I used to order using my ship's address and military title. They ship my ---- quick as hell too and usually receives it within a week. I guess they think that I'm ordering "for" the ship instead of personal use.....

GJ on that manifold bro!

Re:Another DIY Manifold.
 

your wife is gonna ---- when she finds out how much a tig costs...

Just shoot her a link to full-race.com and say "baby.. I can make these manifolds at 1/18th the price"

;)

Re:Another DIY Manifold.
 

she stops talking to me for hour after I told her how much it costs :P But after a good traditional man to woman begging it's all good.
HOMEDEPOT ROCKS!!!! I bought my mig there two months and half ago, abused the ---- out of it and returned it yesterday with no question asked ;D All 500 dineros back into my hand.

Re:Another DIY Manifold.

Re:Another DIY Manifold.
 

to all of you mani makers, will this work? stainless is cheaper though. :-\

Re:Another DIY Manifold.
 

it'd work but it really doesn't need to be that thick. Mild will be easier to cut so its not a terribly big deal.
