So weird backstory...I got 3rd degree burns when I was young so I am super conservative when it comes to fire. Once was enough. Maybe I am...

easy, set speed square pivot at bottom of pipe, rotate to 15 deg mark, make a line repeat on opposite side then join marks takes maybe 30 seconds ...

If you forget for a duration they tend to pick up metal on the veins and grind away at the veins and housing. Then one day it is running weird, you...

make that two... Acetylene is no more dangerous than map or propane actually probably safer... millions of oxy/acet sets in use worldwide seldom hear...

man, i feel so dumb I can't believe this didn't occur to me. I had been using a wrap to get a straight cut I never even thought about using it for an...

Those big ones will run all day and you can lay into them and remove a ridiculous amount of material quickly without wearing it out like you would an...

They are big and heavy, but you can put the veined sanding discs in them and really tear up some material. The problem was air consumption that thing...

Gotta love social media, in whatever platform.

No way to get at it with a sawsall? Once in a while a nutsplitter will save the day, as mentioned above. I'm sure you will set up a backstop for...

I think we should compare scars! GRRRRRRR WOOOF!

I'm puzzled why you seem to think mapp gas (or propane) is somehow not as "dangerous" as acetylene. What exactly is your sticking point with O/A?

That’s not a very nice thing to say.

Wow Can you post show & tell pics of All your achievements in life? We are all waiting on the edge of our seats.

Ask your local welding supply. I know one in north zulch Tx but I’m not sure about Waco.

You could wind your neck in a bit... we're all friends here, but you have to learn to take criticism in a positive light :) That doesn't make...

That's a "J" prep. Allows access to the root with the stick rod while minimizing the number of fill passes compared to a bevel prep. There will be a...

Yes coating is rust inhibitor. I clean w gasoline since it is so thick. This pipe material really isn’t that thin in my opinion. Sure, not 1/4”...

I been weldin 45 years or so. Im no good at welding thin stuff, I dont do it enough, most stuff I weld is 1 or 2 inches thick, 3/8 is about as thin...

I learn something new every time I ask a question here. I also am wanting a forge that can generate welding temps, is that unnecessary as well?...

Only from fools. Where did I say my aluminium welding was excellent, didn't even say it was good, only that I'd taught myself how to weld...

Much more ergonomic than an angle grinder and 4 HP. No load RPM means nothing if it it bogs under load. Kind of like a diesel engine compared to a...

I guess the best solution would be to put a 5 inch whip on the magswitch with a dinse or something on it and then the same setup on my regular ground...

Yeah, the directions say to NOT do that but I find I need it both ways ;) I think they're afraid you'll get more heat into the assembly from the...

I was in a hurry otherwise I would have done better on the edges:) I think it would be cool as a clock.... hard to say what shootr may do with...

I like the ideal of clamping to the magswitch. more useful than having the mag hardwired.
