OT: What's this type of bracket called?

I don't think he/she/it/they were judging. They were just wondering why you don't just go out and buy some steel tube or bar and make a replacement instead of turning it into a 9 part mini series.

As you love to do....

Just curious Noddy! Why don't you front up with the *proof* you claim to have of your 2 decade long *boasts* in aus.cars. Rather than hanging shit on people all the time, why don't you just *ignore* topics and conversations that don't interest you or, more to the point, are beyond your ken? You can't keep putting into your killfile all the people who are asking you awkward questions. You will need to answer them sooner or later - or they may be answered in your stead. You see, some of your claims are without substance as verified by VetAssess and, through archival records, absolute definitive proof can be obtained.

It's just a matter of time.

Nothing astonishes Noddy so much as common sense and plain dealing.

Feel free to *drop out of the topic* at any time Noddy. After all, it's not like you have any *trade experience* at metallurgy.

Annealing is hardly a scientific process. It's a process that is used for the treatment of metals and alloys to return them to a position of optimum ductility. Cold working of metals results in work hardening which could lead to cracking and annealing reverses that process. In the case of the alloy tubing in question, the annealing process is carried out *prior* to bending as well as after. The process prior removes the work hardening of manufacture allowing easier bending and the process after returns the pipe to the most ductile state after bending so that it won't crack in service.

In my time in my trade I have performed annealing, quenching, tempering & carburising along with many and varied welding processes. These are simply *trade skills* that I learnt during my high school years and during my apprenticeship. No rocket science involved or required.

You're just pissed because you got properly bracketed.

Now you are just another interloper troll in yet another NG. How quaint... not.

Fuck off imbecile. No one was asking for the opinion of a Trump Supporter.

You are the imbecile.

You have invaded yet another netgroup, and are not civil.

You are so retarded that you cannot tell that I am adamantly against Donald J. Trump, so you are obviously also illiterate.

And you think me calling you a troll is an opinion.

Bwuahahahahahaha!

And Noddy reverts to type! How utterly unsurprising!

The odd thing is; you actually wonder why you become the topic of conversations here.

The reality, you want *control* of conversations, and everything else, here in aus.cars and it pisses you mightily when, instead of controlling, you become the topic of conversations in aus.cars. It's why you've become a *master of projection*, probably the only thing you have ever mastered to any degree in your entire life of failure. All the rest of the lies, bullshit and fakery you involve yourself in are nothing more than your futile attempts to be relevant to the motor trade.

Now, about the proof of those long term claims to be qualified in 2 trades - ante up!

He is uncivil, a liar, a bullshit artist, a faker, a sociopath (failed) and an outright loon. Yes, you're on the right track with your assessment of him.

Well, he did flunk/drop out of year nine in a tech school. Wasn't even capable with his hands, much less his brain.

Concepts like that are definitely beyond Noddy's ken!

So how many times have you mentioned Alvey in a post in the last few months when you claim you can't see his posts ?

I'm sure Sylvia has worked you out as well, smart people do.

How many times have do you have to be reminded that you that you don't get to control in a public newsgroup?

How many times does it have to be pointed out to you that expressing a dislike for for a team, party, or person you like does not mean someone automatically supports an opposing one?

This basic, binary, non-critical thinking mindset of yours is really, really stupid. No wonder then that you get "properly bracketed" by everyone whenever and wherever you pop your toxic little head up.

Well aren't you just the legend in your own mind. For a simple support bracket bracket (I assume she isn't making a satellite or whatever) it is hardly necessary to anneal or heat treat a bit of cold formed bar or pipe to 45deg. Don't think you are the only tradie in the group either!

If it is cracking through work hardening, annealing will prevent it.

And, no I don?t assume I am the only tradie in the group. In fact, there are many, along with a few fake tradies like Noddy.

Xeno

That's one, but who are these "few" fake tradies?

Isn't he just amazing? :)

This is a bloke who has stated that he spent 20 years as a trade teacher before faking a back injury and going into early retirement, and claims that he's "extremely trade relevant" today (his exact words) despite not having worked in *any* trade in the last 20 years by his own accounts.

How he manages to achieve that is a complete mystery, but not nearly as much of a mystery as his extensive knowledge of welding and metal treatment given that his own "experience" is limited to the 5 minutes of rudimentary welding theory he was taught as an apprentice himself :)

Spend some time in aus.cars and you'll see that Google has a lot to answer for when it comes to "experts" like this :)

--

That is true. And proven.

That is a figment of your imagination.

As a *qualified tradesman*, I will *always* be more relevant to the automotive industry than you could ever hope to be Noddy. You are just a

*pimple on the arse* of the motor trade and that is all you will ever be. Isn't it odd how you, the person who bangs on so much about trade relevance, aren't even qualified despite all your *claims* to have no less than two trades under your belt. No record of any automotive trade qualifications in your name Noddy, that says it all.

Did metallurgy studies at Uni and that, unsurprisingly, included a welding component. I'm sure I've mentioned that previously.

Regardless, every motor mechanic apprentice does stick and gas welding as part of their TAFE training in their *first year*. Took up about a week of the apprentice's time at TAFE if I recall correctly. The fact that you do not know this casts a lot of doubt on your claim to have ever been a first year apprentice - even in Aviation - since welding is a basic trade skill, as is annealing. Ask Daryl, he knows, he did it too

- and stated as much here and shot you down in flames.

My first attempt at *annealing* was when I was in first year high school during metalwork. During my time as a diesel fitter, I had to anneal components very frequently, especially in remote areas where new components were difficult if not impossible to procure.

Experts like you is what you should have said. Without Google, you're screwed, proven over and over.

An assumption. Where there is one Noddy making claims, there are bound to be others.

Got a subject outline for that subject? I've seen literally thousands of university academic records and I have seen subjects on metallurgy but they did not include welding. By definition it is the study of ores and their chemical properties and extraction.

Go ahead though and post a subject outline from one of the unis you mentioned you attended. I'll wait.

I see you've met the resident sociopath of aus.cars. Ugly isn't it?

Anyhow, the trick in dealing with it is to recognise its tactics and respond accordingly. Frinstance, what its done above, ie introducing a 3rd party; "no one", is known as "Triangulation". It is attempting to intimidate its victim *and* validate its own opinion by claiming a 'majority'. Of course the gaping flaw in this tactic of the toxic is that its 'majority' is a lie. So point this out and laugh at the sociopath. With any luck its head will explode.
