Fabrication probably need to keep it automotive related?
Fabrication is a pretty broad subject!

Default Re: Fabrication Section

There is already a lot of this information up in the technical resources portal, and a lot of fabrication information is already on the welding thread. The rest of the info, is on members project threads. How would you seperate that??

I do like the idea myself and if it could be done, it would be a great resource for members - a sort of How to section. Perhaps a central point with links to where the information can be located could be created?

My suggestion would be to have a seperate sub forum in the Project section, however that decision is up to the admin team.

Cheers
Col

Have to agree with coleen, very broad subject to have in one thread. Will need its own section with sub threads. but very intrested in learning and contributing.

That would be good in the projects section, then we can place links too it in our project threads to save 20 pages just on one fab job... and it will be easier too research/search for information on fabrication for one particular thing rather than looking through heaps of projects.
