    Which country can extract the best steel?

    I work at the Tilden mine in Michigan's upper peninsula and I can tell you that just between the mines owned by Cliffs natural resources, at least 3 different types of ore are mined to make pellets to ship to mills.

    odd TIG welding question

    Concrete Gone Wrong

    Mine looked the same after it was poured. 32'x40' garage. Wife asked what was wrong with the floor. Sure enough, it evened out over a week. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Keep pex out of concete?

    Used to work for a farmer who did this method. Foam board, pex, 4" sand, then concrete. His explanation was that if he ever wanted to drill into the concrete to mount anything, he wouldn't Nick the pex. Shop heated fine. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Fairly new member building new house/garage

    Buying tools is ridiculous, no?

    Join the union as a general laborer. Might have to work a bit, maybe 12 hour shifts from time to time, but if your a good worker its good $$.

    Best size angle grinder

    4½ is definitely the go to for size for most diy'ers. Depending on what you want to spend, Bosch, Makita, Dewalt, Milwaukee, all good grinders. Metabo is a great grinder.
