I normally do it with an old curtain rod , some chalk , and a tape measure

Mine is 6ga 50 ft rubber coated 3 prong 50a plug . Yes it is tough to unplug , I never attack it without turning off the circuit breaker . My welder has 20 ft MiG and spool gun I do not need more than that length to reach anything I will be welding .

Propane LEL 2% UEL 10% . Anything outside of these mixtures will not burn . Specific gravity of vapor 1.5 specific gravity of liquid .5 . Boiling point -44* F . If one does get a leak chances of seeing a cloud in a confined area is very good . Everything has a hazard to use , gasoline , diesel...

I worked where we stored 27 million gallons of Propane . It spells Danger to the uneducated . It is heavy in the gas state so a leak is going to puddle up in the lowest place it possibly can , and vent out as lighter gasses do . Propane is no odorized in its natural form , ordorent is highly...

Always unscrew the regulator tension before opening the bottle valve

I have 36 years as a licensed stationary engineer , I have hydro tested hundreds of pressure vessels and high pressure pipe fittings . I have never one time measured the expansion diameter of the vessels . Many of the boiler shells are many stories high or around . It would take a large tape or...

Total Force at its best . Pressure is measured in lbs per sq in . . How many sq inches in are in an 80 gallon air tank multiply 150 lb per sq inches operating pressure . That will give one some idea of the force contained inside the tank before it exploded .

TB and solder for me . Just my 2 cents . Those are the best terminals , only ones I will use , cover the finish with heat shrink and for get it

Hillbilly like me uses corn cobb

Outstanding work.

I watched old time mechanic , greased a piece of plywood . He would do 22.5s in nothing flat with no strain . I use a square point shovel seems super easy also .
