We're getting ready to move the project off the rotissere to the lift.
We'd rehung the doors . Pretty scary hanging there on the rotissere. How many 100's should we allow for shrinkage when we reinstall the long? |

Shrinkage is not required or desired. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif)

Took lots of pictures on my camera that l'll post when I get back from the shop.
So if we have it held solidly in place we shouldn't except some shrinkage when the welds cool? It's almost scary how much you can move everything. Should have taken a video it would scare the sxxx out of most of us. Door gap looks like I'm seeing .19 to .22. |
