Not to hijack this thread but Everytime i see Ceps pictures of his welder sitting on the stack of pallets i think of a jobsite i was on last year and here are a couple of pictures of the work area built by the iron workers on the job.

. Always seemed odd that iron workers fab so much out of wood.

Wood is good. The advanced W-Fiber™ is a natural composite which is renewable, biodegradable and has a very good strength to weight ratio. It has been used in diverse applications from building homes to smoking meat in the back yard. It even has a role in military and defense. How many times has a poke in the eye with a sharp stick turned a situation around.
Of course in the metalworking trade, it's hard for a guy on the job to explain why he got splinters in his butt.
You can tell who built it by if they used nails and screws or tie wire and a few snipped off pieces of 7018 for spikes.

Well, I posted pics on the Hobart forum here of this G-213 I picked up yesterday. The internals and engine seem to be working OK Just needs a new fuel pump and the carb cleaned and I have acetone breaking the varnish loose in the bottom of the homemade stainless tank. Gravity fed it long enough to see if it welds and has AC power. Will order a new pump for it later. The Wisconsin seems to be in great shape, starts first or second pull w/ the hand crank as the batts were dead. When I get everything else fixed I plan to give it the DuPont Overhaul.

I almost think it would have been cool to have totally tricked out the inside and left the outside looking rough as hell.I was over at JAS’s Sunday, that welder really looks good. Well as long as you don’t look real close.
Would have been a sweet sleeper
You did a real nice job on it Carl. I know JAS appreciated it
In almost 30-years, you wouldn’t believe the crap JAS has talked me into doing!I know JAS appreciated it
I think my idealarc is cool. :cool2:
Restoration credit goes to member "AnOldman" Steve.
I'd love to find new faceplates.
Not sure about the serial #s stamped into them.
