The torch is awesome! Thanks again! Shawn

Here is Buck........ Unfortunately he passed a couple of months ago. I haven't had the heart to look for a new friend yet.

I use Dewalt 18v stuff daily on service calls and I have found that the battery life has been excellent with these tools. I do pool and spa repairs so they get wet, muddy, etc. constantly and I love them. That being said, every two years I replace all my tools and sell my old ones on CL just to...

Re: I love SnapOn tools ..BUT I didn't pay anywhere near the online price for my SO stubby set off the local truck. Maybe the online prices are just jacked or my local guy knows that we won't pay those prices? I dunno???

Love my miller bobcat! Had a hobart before it and like the adjustability better on the miller 100%.

HAHAHA!!! I bet when you saw the "factory" setup you were like "take that naysayers!" :lol_hitti:beer:

We use a DTI model UC2/3G it is 2/3 of a gallon and we use it for cleanig carburetors primarily. It works fantastically! I stuck the breech plug out of my BIL's black powder rifle that had been fired numerous times last year and then stored loaded until season this year. It was NASTY! I put it...

Agreed, I was picturing him welding an extension to the pipe just to make it longer. Your idea is basically an exhaust "chimney" and I see no problems with that! :thumbup: We have a lot of redneck engineers here who weld glasspacks onto the exhaust of their welders to "quiet 'er down" and then...

I think his statement was from looking at the earlier pictures, In the earlier pictures it looked like you had mounted the cooler directly over the flywheel fan. maybe he was thinking that the fan pulled air into the engine rather than sucking it through the cowling?

You should send a picture and specs of this to Art Evans(started Dixie Chopper). He would love the idea! Heck the guy put a jet engine on a Chopper back in the early 90's IIRC.......lol

Very nice looking! What a huge undertaking with limited help! Very cool! Nice looking electrical runs too.

WTF does a guy do to get banned from a freaking garage forum site? lol Good Lord!

Change your stripe plan to cover the outlets with a stripe then the difference will not be noticeable since the outlets will be centered in a wide stripe?

Look it up in the NEC code book.......... He was utilizing the cable for a transmission line subject to higher draw. The 30 amp rating is for single source power supply such as feeding a dryer or AC unit that will normally have a much lower load draw at run cycles but may climb higher during...

I am surprised that you didn't start a fire or melt your wire ...... You used a cable made for 15amps for power transmission on a gen set that was capable of normal output of 25 amps at normal run. Not even considering startup output or load.
