No Ken, going to cut them flush with the ground. Then put 5 inches of crushed granite. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Thanks Ken. I wish I had taken a pic of me. I sweat so much today in the humidity that even my leather tool pouch was completely soaked. It looked like I had been soaked with a hose and rolled in dirt. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
So was it a design faux pas, or a "I cut it twice and it's still too short" moment. Looks good in any case. Hydraulics make some things so easy.
My little harbor frieght electric sheet metal shear paid for itsself when cutting the panels around the door. But they only work along the long side. They won't go up and down through the channels. Had to use hand shears for that.
perhaps, or perhaps the guy used his cutting torch nozzle to charge it with Acetylene and O2....big boom......once.The minimum burst pressure of 4 inch schedule 80 pipe is 1110 PSI and an 18inch cylinder has a surface area of 226 inches so the minimum burst force is in excess of 251,000 pounds total. Even not considering the safety factor inherent in the manufacturing, its hard to see garden variety propellants exerting that kind of force. More exotic mixtures,especially with additional O2 supplied, could be very problematic..Sorry, geek rant over
