Argh, idiots top posting.


Anyways, the main cost for cadweld is the molds.  Once you have them it's very
cheap ($4/weld) to make the connections.  The tower leg/pipe molds are really
nice to have as you can use them on a tower leg with out having to heat the
entire leg up with a torch.

One can use a oxy torch to weld as well with some silver solder, but it's much
more labor intensive.  About the only reason I've done this was working with
copper strap.
