Never met a beer he didn't like!
Is everyone looking at the same pics that i am? The radius rods are made of 1.5" rebar, how many of you guys that are saying rebar isnt strong have tried to bend a piece of 1.5"?
As i stated previously, anyone who thinks 1.5 in rebar bends easy hasn't actually tried to bend a piece. It isn't .5" its 1.5".
Most rebar is not considered a weldable alloy. (Although I have done it to make non-critical items like plant holders for the wife. ). Like BED and others have mentioned, it is prone to breakage at the weld.
How easily rebar bends is not really the question here. I think Dr. Crank hit it on the head, I would never trust a weld on rebar for such an important component! That being said, I doubt we'll be hearing from Sugargoat again since he probably feels he was ganged up on! Some people have to learn the very hard way!
