This is a custom built off grid RV. We have done some serious camping in this thing, but I want to build something smaller, and more off road capable. I built the entire project myself. You can search Instagram and YouTube for #thebassbox or MaksWerks and find build videos and info. Truck comes...

I learned to weld around guys who had been doing it a lot longer. I would say $75 an hour is great if the guy is good, and you can afford it. He will watch what you do and correct it. Thats the knowledge - then going home and spending a few hours doing what you have been taught is how you build...

I recently purchased an AHP AlphaTIG 200x to do some more serious welding. But I still keep that HF flux core around. For less than 100 bucks its great for tacking stuff, or going away from a 220V plug. I would dial down the wire speed. My best welds are generally set up on High but with 3-5...

Appreciate the comment but I put on real shoes before I started cutting. You forgot to mention the various combustibles laying around the garage.

Hey guys, I recently made this video of my unboxing and review of a generic eBay plasma cutter. This is the same model sold by Eastwood, HF and other places with different paint schemes. I redid the air hoses, and put on a digital pressure gauge and it works much better. I have started my drift...

One day I want to have a garage worth shooting a movie in.
