Everything seemed to be going along pretty smooth,billett was nice and hot real good sized 1 1/2 octagon,i'm thinkin life is good,forge is cranked up and Rockin and Rollin and then it hit me How the flip am i gonna twist this behemuth mo-fo,That's when i thought about 911,they'd have my kester still locked up so i cave manned the 18 inch pipe wrench and a 4 foot cheater pipe and conquered the world,still would've been nice to have had some help.
