A place to geek out about engineering, fabrication, and design. All disciplines are welcome. Ask questions, share knowledge, show off projects you're proud of, and share interesting things you find.

Rules:

  1. Be kind.
  2. Generally stay on topic.
  3. No homework questions.
  4. No asking for advice on potentially dangerous jobs. Hire a professional. We don't want to be responsible when your deck collapses.

Early in my career I worked for an HVAC contractor that did large commercial & government jobs. The best field trip was going through the steam tunnels under a major university, which included big utility vaults under some of the buildings. I learned that the chemistry building was full of glass waste plumbing due to all the nasty stuff students poured down the lab drains.
