Scottish Independence: confidence, courage and ambition
Scotland, one of the oldest, yet newest, Nations on earth is moving towards an epoch and deciding whether to become Independent. It needs considered reflection to enable it to make this momentous decision, before the Independence Referendum in autumn 2014.
For far too long, and despite the reality of what Scots have given to humanity, our small Nation has been developing a 'cant do' persona. Other Nations have managed to adapt and pursue freedoms and self-respect and progressively moved to a natural, independent state. Its time we did the same.
Strangely, we live within the UK state that is continually discredited. The UK lacks the ability to work on behalf of Scotland and its interests; the UK cannot behave as either a 'good world citizen' or in line with the aspirations of the people of Scotland. Indeed, in the UK, it is arguably the only modern 'democratic' state that tells its own people that they are too stupid, small and impoverished and should not be in charge of their own affairs.
That is not simply the fault of the UK powers-that-be. We allow ourselves to be oppressed into thinking of ourselves as second class citizens within our own 'united' kingdom. We suffer indeed, arguably, from a national 'Stockholm Syndrome' in a captive and dysfunctional UK.
What we need is a real, immediate, and concentrated dose of self-respect, courage, and with it, ambition. Ambition to join the rest of the naturally organised nation-states. Ambition to put right the old wrongs. Ambition to act as a good citizen of the world - and find our age-old guts and determination to make the best of it. We also need friends, family and thinkers from outside of Scotland to stand with us and show us what can be achieved.
For centuries now, many countries have broken free of the 'British' constraints - and none have looked backwards since. Its up to us - and we'd like to hear from you!....
Mar 4 2013: I have noticed that feeling oppressed and desire to be independent is frequently associated with feeling inferior. I've seen this on personal and national level.
I grew up in Ukraine which has not been independent for centuries. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, independence was a buzz-word. However, all post-Soviet political history of Ukraine has been a struggle between two choices - to become an economic satellite of Russia or make alliance with Europe and U.S.A. Ukraine is almost as big as France, abundant natural resources - best soils in Europe, coal, iron, oil; it used to produce buses, automobiles, tanks, airplanes, heavy trucks and bulldozers, and TV sets; it has strategic geographic location, access to Black Sea, etc. Yet, Ukrainian politicians, while boasting with independence, have never had an independent economic and foreign policy. The question for Ukrainian government always is - to join Russia or to join West, with all the political mess that follows.
Independence starts inside. Declaration of independence does not do much without spiritual transformation. But once this spiritual transformation has taken place, the feeling of inferiority and oppression goes away, and the external attributes of independence don't matter as much. It's better to feel a worthy contributor to a larger whole than to be "independent" on paper and enslaved inside.
...I might add that feeling of inferiority is often associated with inflated pride. On a national level, it is often associated with nationalism, derogatory attitude to others, and ethnic strife. On a personal level it seems to cause bullying.
Mar 4 2013: Fantastic Arkady.
I hope that we can have a 'spiritual transformation' before the Referendum!
DMar 3 2013: At the risk of sounding pie-in-the-sky, or worse, not being current, do not worry about all of the issues and problems to be worked out. Attain your independence. Watch the film "Gandhi". Study your history. Gaining independence does not mean immediate success. Nor does it negate it. You have every God given right to have your own identity and do not need to be validated by any other entity. Do it. Show the world a new way.Mar 11 2013: (I totally read your conversation description with a Scottish accent in my head lol)
In Canada, in 1993, when the 85% Inuit population in the Northeast got their dream of self-government (don't know if this is the exact same thing as Independence) everyone was glad that it was going to be a more By-the-People, For-the-People type thing for them...but high unemployment (at least 3x national average), lack of sizable industry and ability to retain crucial talent to build up the state etc. have been problems indeed. 20 years on! Things like, no industry and no jobs mean that everyday products need to be shipped in, causing the cost of living to be very high. In a depressed economy! And I think the Arab Spring revolutions are all realizing similar treacherous sinkholes on the road to new nationhood...
So, aside from the good traditional / emotional / political reasons for self-determination, poor economic planning will cause a new independent state to have:
- no viable industry to support itself (who knows what savings had been pooled in admin costs, or wholesale deals there've been from being part of the UK?)
- a confused and inadequate starting political mandate (whose effects last years)
- and a dejected populace :(
I think Scotland needs to rebrand itself as a separate entity from the UK well in advance of the referendum. The world needs to know why they should travel there, do business and set up presences in both London and Edinburgh. I'm not sure that it's beyond a side-trip from London (sorry!), in many minds yet. There needs to be full confidence of business and tourism, regardless of the referendum result. All future Scottish politicians need to be able to prophesy a sequence of economic plans, stimuli and legislation in order to hit the ground running.
Hire consultants! My boss is a Scottish one, for government! :) He wears kilts and plays rugby etc.
Mar 13 2013: Most of the former Soviet republics experienced the same in the early nineties, after Gorbachev has let the Soviet Union rattle and fall into pieces. Soviet Union had "planned economy" where supply chains were mandated from Moscow, not determined by the market. E.g. Lviv in Ukraine assembled buses for the whole country where all components may have come from different republics. Consumers had to buy the buses - not because they were good, but because they were allocated for a certain region by the government. When the Soviet Union disintegrated, people in other republics no longer had to buy buses from Ukraine. They preferred to buy German and French buses. Likewise, bus component manufacturers did not have to sell components to the bus plant in Ukraine, especially as it became bankrupt. The whole economic supply chain broke. Overlay this situation with endemic corruption and widespread stealing and "privatization" (i.e. buying with stolen money or using fraud and corruption) of the property of the former state enterprises, and you will get the picture what Ukrainian "independence" looks like now.
But the nationalistic hype was very high. People marched with national flags, tore down monuments of Lenin, set monuments to Ukrainian leaders who fought communists in Western Ukraine in the 1940s (often on the side of the Nazis), renamed streets, enacted legislation to restore Ukrainian language in the government system and schools, etc. That's not freedom, really. At least, there is no war. Fortunately, the people have enough civility for that.
Don't want to rain on your parade, though. Again, I am fairly ignorant of what situation in Scotland is. Just sharing my experience of living in a newly independent state. Independence takes a great national spirit like in the U.S. 200 years ago. When people are not ready and independence "falls on their heads" as it was in Ukraine, people often don't know what to do with it.
Mar 13 2013: A planned economy is quite different from economic planning. A circumstance of forced buyers has all kinds of issues--the scope of which I wouldn't even be able to start with here. By economic planning I meant leaders should consciously cultivate / identify viable industries, allocate adequate resources to market them, and ensure that regulations align intelligently with their safe and successful roll out.
Mar 13 2013: I did not mean to criticize economic planning. I meant to illustrate the danger of severing established economic ties.Mar 13 2013: Oh I see. Then I think our points are similar in that there needs to be an economic plan alongside political change where necessary.
It wasn't that the Ukraine went from communism to free-market, in particular, that made it run into trouble because the Bolshevik Revolution from Tsarist rule also had massive supply chain failures as do other historical sudden switches in leadership etc.
Mar 14 2013: Yes. I think, China is doing the transition a lot wiser than the Soviet Union. I believe, it was Gorbachev's mistake to loosen the grip so quickly.Mar 5 2013: As I have been living in Scotland for these whole solid 6 years, I believed that it is ready, if the citizens agree to be independent from Uk. But if they go for "stronger together" plan, then I do not feel it's bad either; I do not feel that Scottish is the second class and English is the first class, vise versa.
If Scotland is going to be apart from UK, I wish that the Scots parliament has good plans for education, economic, public securities, etc. It will be a big step. Problems can happen. I only wish it can be as small as it can be.
Scotland is my bonnie second home. I only wish her the best :)
Apr 3 2013: Great - I like your 'stronger together' sentiment - and think that is exactly what Independence will mean; a stronger and more equitable bond of equal Nations in a respectful relationship on this island.Mar 4 2013: Re: "That is not simply the fault of the UK powers-that-be. We allow ourselves to be oppressed into thinking of ourselves as second class citizens within our own 'united' kingdom."... "What we need is a real, immediate, and concentrated dose of self-respect, courage, and with it, ambition." -- You seem to capture quite well what you need. And it does not seem to be independent state.
Does Scotland have all parts of the independent body capable to sustain itself or is this ambition like an ambition of legs to be independent from the body, because they carry all the burden and have to go wherever the head tells them?
My dad used to say, "no matter how many times you say 'sugar, sugar', it won't get any sweeter in your mouth". Is there a way for Scots to make their own political and economic decisions without saying 'independence, independence'?
I'm fairly ignorant of the history, politics, and economy of Scotland. This can be a very sensitive topic. I'm not trying to offend anyone. I'm trying to learn rather than teach.
We seem to live in the age of breaking walls, not building them - just a general philosophical consideration.Mar 4 2013: Something that reduces connections to archaic monarchies where political power comes from birth sounds good to me.
Viva the Scottish republic.
I hope Australia becomes a republic one day too and dumps a head of state who lives in another country and is head of church and was born into the job.
Mar 4 2013: I myself is surprised that the Queen is still considered to be the formal ruler of countries like Australia or Canada. Does it cause any real grief or is it just a matter of principle and formality?
Mar 5 2013: It's highly symbolic but of little impact in day to day practicalities. But it wouldn't hurt day to day life to dump the monarchy into the dustbin of history either.
Also symbolic things are important, like the 1901 Australian constitution still does not recognise the first Australians.
For me it is firstly a matter of principle, why should unelected people be born into positions of political power. Basic democratic and social equality. Technically I'm a commoner. What a bizarre archaic concept.
And I strongly disagree with the head of state being the head of a religion.
Secondly it would be recognising we are no longer a British Dominion. Time to grow up and be a republic. My late Grandfather fought for king and country in WW2 so had a different view. The UK has moved on too, into the EU, no more citizen rights etc.
Personally, its not causing me a lot of day to day grief, but strongly believe it is the right thing to do on many levels. I was extremely disappointed when a referendum for a republic failed a few years back, mainly because of mixed support for the proposed model. But we had a chance to vote and I accept the majority view at the time is was what it was.
Hope we get another chance or two in my life time. Personally I believe it is inevitable. I'd like to see it in my lifetime.Mar 11 2013: I believe the time is ripe for a new politics, one disengaged from the capitalist bond to finance. It has been the crooked and unregulated finance dealings that have brought disaster to millions in the world. Iceland has recovered, albiet partially, by regulating its finance industry, so Scotland can do the same. What it needs is a radical new politics based on frugality and strong principles. In Plato's Republic it is argued that the proportion of wages at the higher end of income to the lower should be six to one. Scotland could adopt such a principle. We could tax purchases rather than earnings and we could give artists and health care professionals salaries rather than have them hooked to pleasing sales figures and meeting budget constraints.
Before we can do anything radical (and I believe we must, otherwise there's no point to Independence) we need to unshackle our economic and political systems from London.
Unfortunately, the 'Yes' campaign for Independence is a cross-party campaign and therefore not based on any policy or manifesto, making the job of convincing the nation a difficult one.
There has to be a way to live fairly, however; Scottish politics has always been about fairness.
That the Scottish nation has always leaned 'left' while those who govern her lean 'right' is the loudest argument for independence. There is also an argument to be made for all of the UK to vote. Indeed, some in the north of England might also want to split from London.
Be that as it may, the national politics in Scotland is opposite from the politics which govern her from London. Independence would rectify that. Whether or not Scotland makes a success of self-governance, however, is a question for the crystal ball.Mar 11 2013: Scotland is a very rich country, I can give you that.Mar 11 2013: Do you think that independence for Scotland has its roots in an emotional yearning - or for rational reasons - or both?
If the impetus for independence is predominantly emotional, then it will perhaps give rise either to very high levels of confidence, or very low. It could go either way, depending on how Scots see themselves pre-Referendum as an independent nation on a world stage. Confidence gets easily hurt by cynical stereotyping perpetuated by those who might be disadvantaged is some way by Scotland breaking away - such as bullying UK politicians and the cynical UK media. It is probably in their interests to carry on belittling Scotland, as long as there is any danger of independence becoming a reality and them losing out on the revenues Scotland generates.
I think Scots need to have absolute solid assurances that independence will have to mean exactly that and be safe in that status, supported by the more rational economic certainty that North Sea oil revenues etc will bolster the original emotional yearning to make the long-awaited break from the UK.
It is interesting that the year set for the Referendum is the 700th anniversary of Bannockburn...
Mar 11 2013: Those arguing against Independence have the media in their pockets. The 'battle', then is as unfair as it was 700 years ago.Mar 5 2013: The principle of self determination seems a fair place to start.
Iain Forbes
Mar 4 2013: Thanks David for this thoughtful piece. As Winnie Ewing once said 'Stop the World we want to get on!". The economic case is barely relevant, even without the proper tools to aid our own economy we still contribute more to the UK. That's not the point. What this comes down to in my mind is our own ambition. Let's be ambitious enough to build a new society, where every child has opportunity, where our old folk don't have to worry and a country that contributes to the world in a positive way instead of the self-seeking grandiose meddling the UK has been involved in. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to have every resident of Scotland to shape there own country as a dynamic 21st century nation.Mar 3 2013: From my research, Scotland generates approximately 40Billion in public spending, but less than 30Billion in revenue.
- +1
Can you explain how Scotland would make up for the loss + requiring its own Military defence?
Mar 4 2013: Xavier - at the risk of pulling you and others into the 'should we' debate - and indeed fall foul of the very problem I am raising above - the UK governments own figures have Scotland contributing a net surplus to the UK exchequer. As for defence, all the small nations in Europe manage it quite adequately... and I dont hear much clamour suggesting otherwise, to their governments...
Im looking for inspiration for our people; not to debate the issue here; that is for another place and happening. What we need is the courage, something lacking that causes us to believe all the claptrap fed to us from London and get off our knees.
We rely, and look for that inspiration, on others who value and enjoy more freedoms and equality than we currently have in Scotland within the UK, governed by London.Apr 3 2013: Unfortunately, many comments here were posted to support (or otherwise) the notion of Scottish Independence, and somewhat ignored my question! I wanted to know what you thought about how our Confidence, Ambition and Courage could be improved.
I dont think any personal comments about opinions of self-government for Scotland (that was good enough for North America!!!) is helpful. Anyway, it is now closing and those who did contribute positively and helpfully, I thank you.Mar 30 2013: Hi David,
If Scotland could be independent that would be one thing, but independence in Europe is an oxymoron, and this appears to be the plan. I am reasonably happy with the British setup, and would much rather be ruled by elected politicians in London than self serving eurocrats in Brussels. Sadly the Tories & UKIP seem to be the only resistance to the total annihilation of our sovereignty.
I'm sure Scotland could be a successful independent nation, & one that I could get excited about. We have a wealth of resources, innovative people, & a good international reputation. However, for me, the EU shadow blots it out as a possibility. Pity !
:-)Mar 28 2013: I think it would be great if Scotland became independent. However I think the rest of the Uk should be independent from London. London no longer relates to what exists in the rest of the country. While the rest of the country stumbles on or languishes, it still grows. It's a great city, but with better, faster connections between Newcastle, Leeds, Cardiff, Manchester and Bristol the rest of the country could go on.
Back to Scotland, independence would bring fairer democracy to the rest of the UK and the Scottish parly. Agree with a previous poster though - Scots have to accept there role as Imperial oppressors. Why do so many Afro-Caribbeans have Scottish and Irish surnames? At the very least they were willing executioners, even if they didn't have as much influence or power as the Sassernacks. But those days are fading, all power to Scotland.Mar 27 2013: I support Scottish (any nations) right to self determination, however, I'd be sad if the Scots did opt out purely because so many of us are of mixed blood, and that the bond is actually very strong once you disregard the Glaswegian comedians racist rants.
I'm 2/8 Scottish, 1/8 Welsh and 5/8 English. I've always felt we gain our strength from being united but different. I have inherited my thick red hair from my maternal great grandparents and my name is an obvious family name from that root of the family tree. Yet I grew up on the south coast of England - and I sound really, really posh! :-)
I can't understand why Scots feel second best, nor why they hate the English so much given that we've been united by Crown since 1603 and Governance since 1707, and that unification occurred though separate Acts of Parliament rather than from war. I'm not disputing that the two nations did go to war in the distant past - but that was way back in time when boys liked banding together with sharp implements for a spat in a muddy field. It was the fashion for a long time.
I also don't feel it's right for the Scots to dissociate from their role in the British Empire - as if it was the English Empire. To state that "For centuries now, many countries have broken free of the 'British' constraints.." is implying that the British Empire never included Scotland. In fact, when you look at the time line of the rise of the British Empire it coincides with Crown and Governance unification. No Scot could ever deny that Scots took every advantage of Empire!
I am concerned that Scotland will vote for independence - have a fab party and stick their fingers up at the English - and then what? People like Sean Connery can afford to support independence - he's a multi-millionaire who lives in the USA. Can you be really sure you haven't made the English into bogeymen, when if fact, we're your kin-folk - all be it with funny accents.Mar 14 2013: On a related talk about Scotland
While dermatologists have warned of the risks of pale skinned populations developing skin cancer if exposed to too much ultra-violet radiation, there is a positive side to it. Vitamin D is generated in sun exposed skin and is essential to life, but the data confirming that taking Vitamin D supplements improves health is shaky.
We have identified another mechanism by which sunlight benefits you. Nitric oxide is a small molecule, essential to cardiovascular health, which we have found to be stored in the skin, and released to the circulation by sunlight. This lowers blood pressure and makes the blood flow more smoothly. Could this new mechanism account for some of Britain's north-south health divide?Mar 14 2013: I believe the answer to the future of the UK is to Federalise on a local scale, Scotland's problems can be solved without the break up of the UK.
For me this is not a matter of Economics, I don't want my culture and heritage to be destroyed by Marxists who want Britain to be torn asunder!
I want to be able to call myself Scottish, English, Welsh and Irish because I am British! Just because I was born in England does not mean that Scotland is not my country, I was born in Britain and in the event that Scotland leaves the Union, I will be keeping my Great British Passport!
Have we not already lost enough of our National Identity?Mar 5 2013: Is that how people view the Scots? as second class? or is that how they think they feel? You and the rest in Pommy land are very old cultures and sometimes history can weigh heavy on a people as well as a peoples perspective of time.Mar 4 2013: "Some scholars argue that the Act of Union in 1707 made the Scots part of a larger and more advanced nation and opened the way to the Scottish Enlightenment of David Hume, Adam Smith, and other scholars. And perhaps those modern ideas and the connection with England made possible the achievements of the inventor James Watt, the architect Robert Adam, the road builder John MacAdam, the bridge builder Thomas Telford and later Scots such as Alexander Graham Bell and Andrew Carnegie.
But whatever the benefits of union might have been in 1707, surely they have been realized by now. And alas, the land of Adam Smith has become one of the poorest and most socialist parts of Great Britain. So maybe a libertarian shouldn't look forward to Scottish independence. On the contrary, I think it's easy for Scotland to whine and demand more money from the British central government. An independent Scotland would have to create its own prosperity, and surely the people who produced the Enlightenment are smart enough to discover the failures of socialism pretty quickly if they become free, independent, and responsible for their own future.
Scottish Independence"
By David Boaz for the Cato Institute
David Hood
Mar 4 2013: Hi Theodore,
- +2
Some scholars may agree or disagree with what the union brought or did not. Its a moot point, kind of like saying 'would the south states in the USA have survived or flourished better if there wasn't a union'. That there was only one history - that of a union here in the UK - is obvious and we cannot and should not debate whether 'it was hood for us or not'. It simply *was*.
Right now though, it is failing and has been for decades. Being anti-socialist and falling for the 'subsidy' myth isn't helping - its adding to the prevailing lie. What I have asked for here is an insight into helping nourish confidence, courage and ambition. It is apparent that this is what we need, not I'll informed regurgitated propaganda from an indifferent state or misinformed opinion.
We need inspiration, not lectures; especially as we have and such a profound influence on the modern world - and now need to join is as is our right.
So again I simply ask - can we have some inspiration rather than assumptions or assertions that all is right with the UK state. It isn't working, we in Scotland want to go our own way, we are almost there and have developed this by majority consensus. Almost every UK policy is neither voted for or wished for by the people of Scotland. All we are doing is exercising that democratic right - that unfortunately is forgotten about in all the noise.
Again, can I have some enlightenment about nurturing ambition, please? Without it there would be no USA, Canada, Australia, etc etc.... if its all right for everyone else, its all right for us too.
Gail .
Mar 4 2013: As populations increase dramatically, all humans seem to be crying out for the same thing: we want our voices to be heard. If this is true, then Scottish independence will not give you what you are looking for if you are still a minority voice in a majority population.Mar 4 2013: It will boom then recede then there will be a long convalescence, human nature. What might shock everyone is that the UK will eventually reunite as one again. What do you think?.

Mar 4 2013: Humpty Dumpty set on a wall etc. I can't evaluate what the Scots want, but do they really want to be big Ireland. The only thing I know about Ireland is that they had what seems to me better reasons for independence. Michael Collins was assisinated like Gandhi was. Ireland also seems to benefit from surplus people being allowed to imigrate fairly freely to Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Duh - is that really being grown up and independent? If I am not being fair - let me know. Even in the States which had better reasons - half the colonials were opposed.
Mar 4 2013: Actually, Ireland, Gandhi etc cannot be placed in the same sentence as the situation in Scotland.
On the other hand, one doesnt have to have their leadership repressed or worse to be actively repressed. Even slight disinterest from the powers-that-be is a form of repression.
As for emigration... Im not going to get pulled into that nonsense.... ;-)
Hoping other posts will be more on theme...
Mar 5 2013: Sorry David - as I said I -am an American so I can't evaluate what the Scots want. There are 7 Billion people in the World so statistically very few of the people reading this are Scots. So almost every one reading this isn't knowledgeable - that was one of my main points. You are almost all alone. It could be worse - an American awhile back asked what other countries thought of the U.S.A. He found out. He did not sound happy to the response. I regret if I was not helpful.
Ken brown
Mar 4 2013: Only the political system changes. There's only two islands up there with three tribes of heavily interlinked peoples. The Scots sell power to the rest of the UK but eventually they and the rest will come back together, under what? I don't know but they will.
- +1
Emigration to there? or abroad? I don't think it would matter. I've always liked the Scots and Irish, they know how to swear like they mean it rather than swearing as a replacement for most of the language that some people i know use english for.
Nothing wrong with wanting independence, better to start now than wait so you can get through what follows and hopefully it will be very fast.
Apr 3 2013: Actually, we dont sell power. The money from taxation is taken from our oil, to fund illegal wars and very right wing policies we dont like.Mar 3 2013: Okay, I am an American, but I notice one thing - You had two(2) British Prime Ministers in a row. Maybe your complaints are a little extreme. So you get the sheep and those who remain get the big factory cities. Is that a good idea?

Is it worth it? Although I'd like to get a welder/gen with at least a 10k gen on it. I have an old 10k Onan gen but no welder, this will be my first welder (of course I will still have to learn to weld). I've been looking for 2-yrs now and have been holding out for the right setup. I don't want too spend money twice. The welder will be used just in a farm type setting, No commercial welding, (I'd never be that good). I have a friend that lives within 1/4 mile of me that is a very good welder and has all the equipment for all types of welding and would teach me how to weld. Also this friend will do all of my welding for barter or low pay, but I'd like to be self-sufficient. Like right now one of my loader supports on my tractor has a crack in it, I need to use the tractor/loader but my friend is away on vacation and won't be back for another week. So guess the big ?? is should I buy it or hold out for what I really want. Sorry for the long wind.
Thank you,

I have a Big 40G and it's an excellent machine, but I believe the auxiliary power is only rated at 3 kw.

$1500? I looked up the service manual and looks like this only has the 3KW auxillary a/c power. Do you need to run any 3-phase equipment at your place? As far as the welder is concerned, it looked in pretty good shape, and has a good sized welding generator, and a flat-head 4 cyl Cont. engine. Pretty much a 400 amp CC machine, similar to the Lincoln gas jobs in their day."Bonne journe'e mes amis"

Rumer Willis (Splash News)
The 24-year-old stepped out on Sunday rocking a T-shirt emblazoned with her father's face sitting right across her chest.
"Whatchoo talkin' bout, Bruce Willis!" the light pink top declares, waxing funny about her dad's name and the infamous catch phrase from the '80s sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes."
[Related: Rumer Willis Flaunts Her Bikini Bod in Miami]
The "House Bunny" actress donned the shirt as she left her father's home with wife Emma Heming Willis following an Easter celebration. She was accompanied by her boyfriend, "The New Normal" actor Jayson Blair, and younger sister Tallulah, 19.
Rumer was most recently spotted on television in guest roles on "Hawaii Five-O" and "Workaholics," and has a few movies slated for release later this year, including "There's Always Woodstock" and "The Odd Way Home."

need some info. i am building a set of solid motor mounts and would like to use Aluminum. what grade would be suitable? as there are quit a few to pick from. i was thinking 6061-t4 (3/16 or 1/4). here is what i was thinking.
also what filler and would i need to re-harden the aluminum after welding
i am using a Syncrowave 200 non-water cooled
any idea would help....
Thanks Rich

Aluminum motor mounts
The engines size and power will weigh into this equation. I would warn away from thin 1/4" mounts on a big block for instance. A high torque small block would be over the top for 1/4" as well. WE need more Information. All the little things matter in these decisions. Also what is the design purpose of this vehicle also. If your doing an off road truck this is a terrible idea as well.

if you make all those welds pictured in your little diagram, your 6061 will probably lose all it's temper from the heat and will end up with no more strenth than non-heat-treated aluminum. if you're dead set on aluminum, the i would machine the motor mounts from a block of 7075.miller dynasty 350

I kind of agree about not being so dead set on alum unless I copied a proven design, they are small and weight would be rather insignificant to some extent, I would be tempted to use steel unless I had to use alum.
If aluminum is the requirement, then I would step to atleast 1/2" material. I also agree that a machined block of material would have a better chance. Also if 1/" is used I would relief cut the surface to slightly recess the bolt head and thus move the strain into the block as opposed to being carried pirmarily along the surfaces.
This I believe to be a true call for steel, but as usual its my opinion.

If you make them out of aluminum, put some safety chains or cables on to limit travel.
First few runs keep a camera on it.
We like pictures.
BMW motor mounts on their 400+hp v8's are all just vulcanized rubber with a couple studs going off either side. NO mechanical connection within the mount aside from the rubber bond. They have steel cups that interlock in the event of a failure (which does happen, and has happened to me on a raced e30), but there's nothing holding the engine down.
1/4 or 3/8" 6061 would probably work without any issues, depending on design.
Now about the design; it's flawed. You have openings on either end that don't need to be there (they create a cantilevered stress zone across your joints). Intend on turning your bolt from below and make the ends boxed, then you'd be good to go.
What you created is a bracket that holds a rotational load against the weakest dimensional axis of the part. This is aluminum too - it has a significantly smaller stress life than steel. Eliminate the flexing at the welds and you'd be home free.Syncrowave 250DX

hey guys thanks for all the info. i am not dead set. just an idea the drawings are kind of what i was thinking of for designs. i draw up another drawing that boxed the mounts in. i will build a set and test them out on the car hopefully it works.
also i was reading that after welding 6061-t6 you can re-heat to 900* to get the strenght back.... is this right?

bmw also has very little body flex. They tend to be designed very rigid.
The ford's I own, they flex a bit more than the bmw's and other german designs. The germans like to alloy, what kind of aluminum do they use?
4.6 v8 is very smooth in the delivery of power, at least mine is in my svt. course, I can get the body to flex, launch or twisties...
Strip launch's will put instant stress and twist in a body in ways a road car will never see unless it's bouncing off a wall.
Not good, not bad, just a bit different...
If it is not a proven design , I'd put a safety chain/strap on it to keep it from eating other parts up if it decides to let loose.
Just my opinion.

Launch Vehicle: Modified SS-6 (Sapwood) with 2nd Generation Upper Stage + Escape Stage; 8K78M
Launch Site: NIIP-5 / launch site 1; Tyuratam (Baikonur Cosmodrome), USSR
Spacecraft Mass: 1106 kg at launch; descent probe was 383 kg.
Spacecraft Instruments: Bus: 1) magnetometer; 2) cosmic-ray counters; 3) charged-particle traps; and 4) ultraviolet photometer
Probe: 1) radio altimeter; 2) aneroid barometer; 3) eleven gas-analyzer cartridges; 4) two resistance thermometers; and 5) ionization densitometer
Spacecraft Power: Solar panels (main bus) and battery lasting 100 min. (probe)
Antenna Diameter: 2.3 m (high-gain antenna)
Deep Space Chronicle: A Chronology of Deep Space and Planetary Probes 1958-2000, Monographs in Aerospace History No. 24, by Asif A. Siddiqi

Solar System Log by Andrew Wilson, published 1987 by Jane's Publishing Co. Ltd.
Venera 4 was the first Venus probe built by the Lavochkin design bureau, although Lavochkin engineers retained the basic design layout of the earlier Korolev probes.
The spacecraft consisted of a main bus about 3.5 m high and a 383-kg lander probe designed to transmit data as it descended through the Venusian atmosphere. This capsule was designed to endure loads as high as 350 g and land on both land and liquid. For atmospheric entry, it was equipped with a thick ablative heatshield.
After a midcourse correction on 29 July 1967, Venera 4 approached Venus on 18 October and released the lander at 04:34 UT, immediately prior to entry of the bus. Parachuting into the planet's atmosphere, the lander turned on its scientific instruments 5 minutes later when the rate of descent lowered to 10 m per second (at 55 km altitude). The probe continued to transmit for 93 minutes as it slowly fell through the atmosphere.
Initially, Soviet scientists believed that the probe transmitted until contact with the surface. In reality, transmissions ceased at an altitude of 27 km when the high atmospheric pressure and temperatures crushed the probe.
The data implied that surface temperatures and pressure were 500 degrees Celsius and 75 atmospheres respectively. Venera 4's gas analyzers also found that the planet's atmosphere was composed of 90 to 95 percent carbon dioxide with no nitrogen. The spacecraft bus measured the planet's weak magnetic field and found no ring of radiation belts. It detected a very weak atmosphere of atomic hydrogen about 9,900 km above the planet. Venera 4 was the first spacecraft to transmit data from a planet's atmosphere.

practice, practice, practice!
I used to run with the same set up @ my previous place of employment. One thing I would mention is check your wire tension in the spool gun. I had similar issues after setting up my machine to weld t6061 1/8 aluminum. I scratched my head till I started to relieve the tension on my wire. Er4043 especially because it's really ductile. Try some er5356 spools. Er5356 is a Lil more rigid and feeds better. Down set is, you will have to change your settings and prepare for more fumes.
Here is one that illustrates 30A setup...
All of the sources that I have found recommend a 3/4 inch stickout for Aluminum with a spoolgun to avoid burnback...
Here is the generic Miller spoolgun hookup and settings video..
The more you know, The better you know, How little you know
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten

Fishburn, Everyone here has given you great advise except for 6G.
The only thing extra that I would like to add that no one mentioned is that I like to set my voltage which is the heat and once that is where I want it I will then start welding and adjust the wire speed knob while I'm welding to fine tune it in.
You need to find the point where your not getting the burn back.
Good luck.

I defiantly agree that for the most part sound is a good thing to remember hut you cant weld from sound alone. Its all about the puddle and what you are doing(or jot doing with it). That being said unless i am welding out of position like vertical or overhead I do generally look for a full his with aluminum. I just welded a bunch if brackets today with a spoolgun(30a). 24.5 volts about 375 wire speed. Turned out pretty nice. 3/8th plate with sch 40 pipe

need help
to mig weld aluminum use a spool gun or push-pull gun. do not drag becase it is best to point the mig gun straight at the weld joint and let fill ,then move pause, and repeat. this technique is almost like forward and back technique only better on thin aluminum and will make a flat stack of dimes profile with a good tie-in.

They're really easy to put on/off thanks to the huge velcro on the front. This is great of course, because I wouldn't want to go through… Full review
Outdoor Research Ultra Trail Gaiters
Go either heavier or lighter. For me these gaiters did't work so well and I think there are better alternatives out there. To be honest I haven't used these as much as other gear that I review. This is partly due to their fit. I wear 46 (US 11.5) and got these in a large. I could put these on no problem (removing shoes first of course). The top of the ankle 'sock' has a small elastic drawstring. I would say that I have quite thin ankles with low body fat and the elastic is already tight. When… Full review

Make: Electronics will make you want to lick batteries! We're not joking. This critically-acclaimed, best-selling book has you licking the business end of a 9v battery in your first assignment. Using what author Charles Platt has dubbed "learning by discovery," you'll build and experience the circuits first (as in the aforementioned battery licking), then you'll learn the theories behind them (how they work, or why they failed). You'll "burn things out, mess things up" as the cover promises, because "that's how you learn."
This impressively clear, well-written, and lavishly illustrated book (over 500 color photos and illustrations) carefully steps you through 36 experiments. Through the construction of working circuits, you'll learn the basics of voltage, amperage, resistance, capacitance, inductance, and other fundamentals of electronics. Then it's on to logic gates, analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), and integrated circuits (ICs). Along the way, you'll meet the scientists and their fundamental discoveries that made modern electronics possible. By the time you're done, you'll have a solid working knowledge of electronics and be ready to confidently venture into the worlds of hobby electronics, microcontrollers, even robotics.
If you've always been intimated by poorly-written, overly technical electronics books or websites that assume you already know far more than you do, we made this book especially for you. Find out why Tom Igoe (co-creator of the Arduino microcontroller) called it: "Fabulous -- well written, well paced, fun, and informative. I also love the sense of humor. It's very good at disarming the fear. And it's gorgeous." And the late Hans Camenzind (designer of the classic 555 timer chip) enthused "This is teaching at its best!"
If you're really ready to dive into the world of hobby electronics, purchase the Make: Electronics Deluxe Tool Kit or Make: Electronics Components Pack 1 and Components Pack 2. The Components Packs include all of the parts you need for the experiments without going through the trouble of sourcing everything yourself. Components Pack 1 will take you through experiments 1-11, while Pack 2 includes the components for experiments 12-24.
* Learn about electronics by trying first, breaking things, and then learn from your mistakes and experiments of discovery.
* Learn how to set up a productive and organized workspace with the tools and parts you need.
* Learn about the key electronic components and their functions in a circuit.
* Create an intrusion alarm, holiday lights, wearable electronic jewelry, audio processors, a reflect tester, an electronic combination lock, and an autonomous robot cart that can sense its environment and avoid obstacles.
* Get clear, easy-to-understand explanations about what you're doing and why it works (or why it fails).
About the Author:
Charles Platt is a former science fiction writer (his best known book is probably The Silicon Man) who switched to journalism and became a senior writer for Wired magazine. Currently running a small R&D business in Florida, Platt pursues portrait photography as a spare-time interest, and is a longtime fan of Hong Kong martial arts movies. His favorite show is Viva La Bam on MTV. His interest in MAKE-ing gadgets began when he built a tic-tac-toe computer from telephone relays in 1966. Charles is a regular contributor to MAKE and is a well-known name to MAKE readers.
Make: contributor Jim Patrick Kelly went through the entire Make: Electronics book and documented all of his builds and what he learned via a series of videos and blog posts.

New Source Review
Clean Air Act Permitting for Greenhouse Gases
You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the Adobe PDF files on this page. See EPA's PDF page for more information about getting and using the free Acrobat Reader.
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the largest stationary sources will, for the first time, be covered by the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and title V Operating Permit Programs beginning January 2, 2011. These permitting programs, required under the Clean Air Act, are proven tools for protecting air quality and the same tools will be used to reduce GHG emissions. But the thresholds established in the Act for determining when emissions of pollutants make a source subject to these permitting programs, 100 and 250 tons per year, were based on traditional pollutants and were not designed to be applied to GHGs.
EPA's GHG Tailoring Rule, issued in May 2010, established a common sense approach to permitting GHG emissions under PSD and Title V. The rule set initial emission thresholds - known as Steps 1 and 2 of the Tailoring Rule - for PSD and Title V permitting based on carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions. EPA's Step 3 of the GHG Tailoring Rule, issued on June 29, 2012, continues to focus GHG permitting on the largest emitters by retaining the permitting thresholds that were established in Steps 1 and 2. In addition, the Step 3 rule improves the usefulness of plantwide applicability limitations (PALs) by allowing GHG PALs to be established on CO2e emissions, in addition to the already available mass emissions PALs, and to use the CO2e-based applicability thresholds for GHGs provided in the "subject to regulation" definition in setting the PAL on a CO2e basis. The rule also revises the PAL regulations to allow a source that emits or has the potential to emit at least 100,000 tons per year of CO2e, but that has minor source emissions of all other regulated NSR pollutants, to apply for a GHG PAL while still maintaining its minor source status.
State and local permitting authorities have long-standing experience working together with owners and operators of industrial facilities, and EPA believes they are best suited to issue Clean Air Act permits to sources of GHG emissions. EPA is working closely with permitting authorities to ensure that the transition to GHG permitting runs seamlessly.

U.S. Supreme Court Decision in Utility Air Regulatory Group v. EPA
On June 23, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in Utility Air Regulatory Group v. EPA, 134 S.Ct. 2427 (2014) ("UARG"). The Court held that EPA may not treat GHGs as an air pollutant for purposes of determining whether a source is a major source required to obtain a PSD or title V permit. The Court also held that PSD permits that are otherwise required (based on emissions of other pollutants) may continue to require limitations on GHG emissions based on the application of Best Available Control Technology (BACT). In accordance with the Supreme Court decision, on April 10, 2015, the D.C. Circuit issued an amended judgment in Coalition for Responsible Regulation, Inc. v. Environmental Protection Agency, Nos. 09-1322, 10-073, 10-1092 and 10-1167 (D.C. Cir. April 10, 2015), which, among other things, vacated the PSD and title V regulations under review in that case to the extent that they require a stationary source to obtain a PSD or title V permit solely because the source emits or has the potential to emit GHGs above the applicable major source thresholds. The D.C. Circuit also directed EPA to consider whether any further revisions to its regulations are appropriate in light of UARG, and if so, to undertake to make such revisions. In response to the Supreme Court decision and the D.C. Circuit's amended judgment, the EPA intends to conduct future rulemaking action to make appropriate revisions to the PSD and operating permit rules.

Attorney Aid Divorce & Bankruptcy Center
"Caring Professionals Make Your Legal Solutions Simple"
Many law firms won't tell you how simple and straightforward divorce and bankruptcy really are. Many law firms have their paralegals do your paperwork and then act as if the attorneys did it. This results in inflated legal bills. We do not work that way. We tell you up front that our legal staff will do your paperwork on state-of-the-art computer systems so that the courts will readily accept it. Attorneys supervise and counsel you as needed. Routine cases typically do not need more attorney involvement than that. The result is much lower legal bills. If your case becomes complicated, our attorneys can step in and make limited appearances for you at discounted rates. You only pay for the attorney time actually used. Again, resulting in a much lower legal bill.

As long as we don't have too many turnovers, I think we can handle the team. Basically, we should win as long as we don't shoot ourselves in the foot too many times.:cool:
i was thinking a little higher up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:yell:
Only for Fiedler!
the miami game was going to be televised nationally? i think we get the notre dame/stanford game out here!:mad:
I hope the Gators don't go to the Rose Bowl, I don't even want to see them go to a BCS game.
