Sure, a day of singletrack mountain biking at the end of the week will sharpen your bike skills . . .But view it more as a means to an end.What if your ride gave you the chance to Phillips M3 self tapping screws take on Mother Nature head-on, in her own back yard!"Epic is more than just a route or a race, it is a living, breathing commitment. It isn’t just about pedalling for a few minutes, seconds or beating a competitor. . .It’s about the journey and all that it entails, learning about yourself, making friends, being helped, and of course, helping others along the way"There’s an Epic route or Race on every Continent, some well known and some yet to be discovered.From prepared centres to outback routes. From the Scottish Highlands to Nepal’s high altitude routes, with the Alps and Rockies thrown in for good measure. The jury is still out on Urals and of course the Sleeping Dragon - China.With enthusiasm for these multi-stage Epics growing, more quality now appear on the calender.

The Canadian BC Bike Race is the new kid on the block, promising to challenge the established hard-core classics, the TransAlps and the Trans Rockies Challenges, the Cape Epic, and the Mother of all Epics, La Ruta de los Conquistadores.However, majestic scenery, fantastic mountain biking, and successful teamwork comes at a price. Mountain bike skills, personal physical and mental toughness and teamwork need to be honed beyond that of your average weekend warrior.Training, guts and determination are a must if you stand any hope of staying the course.Sure, a day of singletrack at the weekend will sharpen your bike skills . . . but have you got what it takes to take on an Epic?Fabrication is when one thing is manipulated to become something else. Unfortunately, the most common usage of the word might have something to do with the how the truth is so often “fabricated” into something else.  However, the most useful type of fabrication has been and most likely always will be metal fabrication. It is thought that metal was discovered before people even been to write, and that it was first used to make rudimentary tools and weapons – such as arrowheads and spears. Since then, metal fabrication has come a long way to include metal bending, metal forming, welding, laser cutting, and much more – expanding its utility far beyond the realm of weapons and basic tools.Metal Fabrication through HistoryAs most high school students know – metal was first used for basic tools. You may picture a primitive arrowhead or a spear, fastened with rawhide with feathers attached– and as far as history can tell us, you wouldn’t be too wrong. These ancient examples of metal fabrication were found in caves, and for the most part every metal fabrication found was created to be used. There was no primitive plasma cutting and metal fabrication done for decorative purposes – only for survival. As far as we can tell, these were the earliest cousins of the modern, technologically savvy, metal fabrications we see today. The Importance of Metal Fabrication ServicesHundreds of thousands of years ago fabricated metal parts helped ancient humans survive. Today, things aren’t much different.

Stainless steel, iron, aluminum, copper, and more are all used to provide us with the products we need every day, from automobile parts to metal fabrications for use by the military, and everything in between.  Metal fabrication can include:Types of Metal FabricationMetal fabrication is done for a wide range of industries and applications. Metal fabricated parts include everything from car parts, aircraft components, boat propellers, holding tanks, shark cages, weapons, and much much more.Contract assembly: while not specifically “metal fabrication” contract assembly often involves fabrication of some sort. Contract assembly pertains to one customer contracting fabrication, machining, or assembly work to an experience provider who has all the necessary machinery. The contract assembly company usually organizes delivery as well.Metal bending and forming: hydraulic press brakes are the most common type of machine used to performing metal forming – a long shot from what primitive man would have used. Metal bending is done with shaped dies and mandrels to bend tubular sections without kinking them while rolling machines are used to form plate steel into a round section.>Plasma Cutting: Plasma cutting is one metal fabricating process that ancient homo sapiens surely would have loved. Plasma cutting uses a plasma torch to cut varying thicknesses of metal – usually steel – with extreme accuracy.  Through a combination of pressurized inert gas and electricity, metal fabricators create a high powered stream of pressure capable of melting metal and simultaneously blowing it away before it can dry into the cut.Welding: Welding is a time honored technique of joining two metals. Slightly different than plasma cutting, welding can use a variety of energy sources – including heat, electricity, friction, and even ultrasound.
