umm...gprime, thats dumb, sorry. and wg, it looks pretty good, but its hard to see all of whats goin on, maybe you could throw in some overhead angles or somethin./.

Ill never be with out my 666. I got this funny little birthmark on my scalp looks just like 3 sixes. Go figure

Im working on better angles. That was just a mix from the first tape i was able to get into the pc. I posted for the people of the NERC that would not leave me alone and thought i would share it here too.

heheheheh, i made a batle bot. i dont know how much it wieghs (10lbs?) but its helluva cool.
i welded a screw driver (with my hot glue gun ) on the front of my remote control car. then i added a little row of nails on this little strip of metal. and for finishers, theres a snall ball-pin hammer attached to the back.
it scares the hell of out the nieghbor's cats. and my dog.

Funny as it sounds, the phrase you were looking for was ballpeen hammer. (Though I'm not completely sure of the hyphenation.)

*edit* I also just found this:

quote:
Main Entry: peen
Pronunciation: 'pEn
Function: transitive verb
Date: 1513
: to draw, bend, or flatten by or as if by hammering with a peen

[neo]So, you wanna touch my peen?[/neo]

I can make a nice bead, and I can cut a pretty good outline. I have a little trouble with the tig. Its hard to keep the gas flooded sometimes... granted im usually outdoors when im doint it.(various frame supports and connectors, body mounts and such) Ive take 2 classes and have a really good basis on the shit. Last summer I built most of a square tubular front steering and suspension assembly for a friends mustang. It was light as shit but we had to do most of the TIGing indoors and then take it outside in 3 big pieces to put it on his car. We put mc pherson struts on instead of an A-arm assemble and the car handled SO much better.
