I was wondering if anyone could give me an description of what a fisheye is and what it looks like. My welding instructor wanted us to look it up and try and find an explanation of it for extra credit.

I believe it is called a fish-mouth, and basically, it is a cut in a piece of material that will fit up to a tube (or pipe, depending on application) with no gaps. It kind of looks like an open mouth of a fish. Roll cage joints need to be fish-mouthed so that they fit nicely.
They make tube notchers that do this for you so that you don't have to do it yourself. I got mine at http://pro-tools.com/hsn501i.htm, but you are probably going to have to make the cuts yourself.-SPiNNeR-
