Craved Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Just putting forward an idea to include a section specifically for Fabrication this would include ideas and feedback on tools used - welders/band saws/lathes etc etc methods of fabrication - metal Fab/Welding/fibreglassing problems encountered during Fabrication (help) Custom car fabrication/roll cages/rust repair Basically any tips and ideas for the DIY people that doesnt exactly fit into engine work or body kits. these could include things like custom seat rail fabrication tips on welding methods fabricating custom IC piping and ways and techniques fabricating IC mounts/ oil cooler mounts surge tank boxes out of the square conversions build your own strut braces just a few ideas that encapsulate the idea of the new forum section. Any aditional ideas and feedback welcome. This would hopefully allow some of the more knowledgeable fabricators out there to share their tips and tricks.

Sl!m Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 + 1 for that and i'd be happy to help moderate the section if more are needed Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/154076-new-section-idea-fabrication/#findComment-2865579 Share on other sites More sharing options...

impact_blue Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Yeh i'm in for this too! And a list of people that partake in such activities. I'd love to know of some locals that could do my kitty exhaust!

shonen Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I THINK THE IDEA SUCKS !! hahaha....nah that would be pretty cool actually and may help prevent certain "accidents" while working with such tools and also a few less headaches Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/154076-new-section-idea-fabrication/#findComment-2865768 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldZilla Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Agreed! Maybe have sub-sections for different types of fabrication, like exhaust, working with plastics and fibreglass, panel beating, interior work (gauge pods, speaker pods, etc.) and sh!t like that...

R31Nismoid Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 So... sorta like a DIY section, but with more detail. Maybe it could merge into DIY... or maybe a sub-section of DIY? Being DIY covers all areas of DIY, be that basic/intermediate/advanced levels of the work being done. Sounds like a good idea, just need to nut out the format Gold - remember audio coveres things like pods etc, and we have a cosmetic section. lets not try to double handle things Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/154076-new-section-idea-fabrication/#findComment-2865972 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craved Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Tutorials / DIY / FAQ FYI ONLY!!! DO NOT POST QUESTIONS IN HERE. ^^^ was the main reasoning for suggesting a new forum section based on Fabrication types and methods .. seperating it from the Engine/fix it DIY type things are in that area.. mainly a Build something DIY over a fix something DIY if it can be sub forumed then awesome DIY - fix it DIY - Build it type thing Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/154076-new-section-idea-fabrication/#findComment-2865999 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sl!m Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 this section would need the ability for user to post and ask questions and have people reply. unlike the current DIY section Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/154076-new-section-idea-fabrication/#findComment-2866054 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R31Nismoid Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Yeah, some tweaking would be required to current permissions for that section. Or maybe a total overhaul of that area. Hmmm. I see where you mean, my thought line is a good "DIY Cooler" piping thread or "DIY Welding" should indeed stay in DIY. You dont want to be able to create some Fabrication section for the reason of "how do i weld" or "how do i get cooler piping to line up" "help me i cant fit my cooler" type of questions which would fill the section with useless information rather than decent technical information (for people that use the search/read the section) Or even put a Fab section, but rule is with a very iron fist in a way... ie. New topics have to be approved by the area moderator first so that the silly questions rather than the helpful threads are avoided. hhmm... many ideas which no doubt will see some end Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/154076-new-section-idea-fabrication/#findComment-2866205 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sl!m Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Yeh I agree with having it set so all new threads need to be approved by moderator of the section Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/154076-new-section-idea-fabrication/#findComment-2866225 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craved Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 cant be tooo hard to post in there either, as most people who are fabricating things and hit a wall and need help, dont always have a lot of time to wait for these approvals to go through. unless there is another sub section for stickies and one for everyday questions, and people apply for it to be put into a sticky, or its up to the Mod of the section to choose if it goes in there or not. reasoning for this is that too many stickies gets messy too Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/154076-new-section-idea-fabrication/#findComment-2866235 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R31Nismoid Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 If there is a mod team assigned, then thats 3 people. Just make sure they are the more active ones, thats easy sorted. yeah, definately dont want 50 sticky threads. But as people fab-as-you-go... you'll never really get a decent answer. People (IMO) would be silly to take the advice in the first 2 hours. Give the thread 2-3 days and see the ideas that come of it, so real-time or fast mod action isnt really a mass requirement in that situation Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/154076-new-section-idea-fabrication/#findComment-2866238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sl!m Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 too many stickies is bad, look at NSW section. Shouldnt need approval to post, just to start new threads. Otherwise whoever mods that section would spend alot of time locking and removing threads that should not be in that section. just need to have active members being the ones to approve it.
