Thanks, Brother GJer! Thats a deal on a 9100V Speedglas hood.

If you go with the cutting disc(Speedy Cut) please hold the grinder so the sparks will be coming at you. A speedy cut disc is notorious for hanging or catching and will jump out of the groove. If the sparks are going away from you the grinder will be coming your way when it jumps. Those speedy...

Welcome to the great state of Tennessee and the the Garage Journal. Are you here for work in Oak Ridge? Either way enjoy Tn. and the Journal!

Hillbilly engineering at its finest! He's my hero!

Very good idea...Mike Rowe would be an excellent choice for that. Damn, I can't help but like him. He seems to be a genuine person.

I hope there's still enough old school craftsmen still in the USA to have a show.

jd dale- I have rope lighting in my 12 x 30 shop. They are one strand around the perimeter and down the middle ceiling. It's good for finding my way around but not quite enough to work by for me. But it does look pretty cool.

I think Jesse may have matured some from his younger days. The lame deadlines are getting old. It would be nice to see a show that covers old time craftsmanship.

You need a trailing rig for Ti. It keeps the purge on the weld a few seconds longer to allow for cooling of the weld. Use a #12 gas lens with the trailing purge. Keep a tight weave and you should be good.
