first picture bottom left is not bad, it is closer to what you want. Your last picture your consistency was good, it seems to be undercut on the sides (camera could be doing that). also you weave/torch manipulation should be tighter.

If you are going to have a fixed shade helmet (Everyone should at least for a backup) I would put a gold lens in it. The green colors from standard lenses and most AD lenses just dont do it for me, I cant see well. The gold works well for me. I recently got a jackson Balder helmet and really...

stay away from synthetic materials. I like the green welding "jacket" I have been wearing one all summer in the shop and it has held up decent. thats tons of out of position stick and tig welding. It is burnt up but not destroyed. I wear that and a t shirt. It stays very cool. I agree about the...

shop is pretty much complete besides from exterior painting. The reason for the rail running around the inside of the shop is we used two different sizes of wood... the price b/w 7/16 and 5/8 was pretty big, so we put the 5/8 where it counts where we will be hanging things. I will come back and...

right now it will not be finished. but Im sure when things settle down and the downstairs is all done we will start up there doing the work ourselves. Not sure if they did anything special on the concrete. It has been sealed though. I went over and checked today, they have just about all the...

I figured I would go ahead and start a thread. My shop is still under construction. but is getting close to being done. its a 30x40 with 12'walls and two 10' doors and one man door. also will have an upstairs, accessable from the outside. they started siding today, should be done today...

if someone offered to paypal me the money for that I would right it off as a scam...

care needs to be taken when working with cast iron. It likes to crack after it is welded. It can be done, you just have to know what you are doing, pre and post heating and cool down etc. Brazing would probably be easier

My guess would be custom made.

If you dont plan on cutting lots of stainless or aluminum. Get a torch first, the torch will last a life time... a cheap Chinese Plasma? I doubt it. learn to cut braze and weld with the torch! heat bolts etc etc. If you do plan on lots of exotic and thin metals though, the plasma still might be...

almost 22. broke ground on a 30x40 last week. Will post pics and start a thread when its closer to move in time.

If you are wanting to start taking care of the property get a gas saw. Ours will sit for a while, I pulled the carb and cleaned it and its back up and running. Most of all, be careful. very dangerous!

Do you just need it to cut that branch? 18" is rather large, I would stay away from a plug in. husqvarna and stihl are good saws, but are more expensive. our husky is probably 25 years old and we still use it. My friend is a logger and he uses stihl and some older huskys. I have used an older...

I have the same problem about throwing stuff away. I don't! Im 21 and still in school, living with my parents. They are trying to sell the house so I had do clean the dreaded room! I couldnt stand to even think about it. But once I got going I threw ALOT of stuff out. I mean ALOT! it was a lot...

NIce! I love the steel wheels. Me and my friend have restored a tractor every year for the past three years, and then rode it through the big parade at christmas. this year he got a 59 541 offset hi crop and a 46 oliver 70. both rare tractors around here... He did a famall m last year. cant wait...
