drilled holes
how much material did i displace,let me see,must get calculator
280 3 inch diameter 5 inch long nipples(i said nipple)
2 five eighth diameter holes in each
that makes 560 holes
the wall thicness of the nipples is three sixteenth of an inch
divide 3 by 16 and you get 0.1875
multiply that by 560 and that equals 105 inches of material
divide that by 12 and you get 8.75 feet worth of steel i turned into swarf(yes that is the real term for the chips that come off a cutting tool)
so if you took a five eighth inch rod 8 and 3 quarter feet long and put it through the chipper shredder that is what i did today
if you want this in metric multiply everything by 25.4
most boring post ever

on the contrary. believe it or not i liked it.
although math is NOT my strong point, so i am taking your word for it.
I understood none of today's post, but that doesn't mean it was bad. You said nipple twice. I laughed.
Or I suppose 3 times...
