    Weld a Compressor Tank?

    Panic Panic Panic if you haven't done it and am certified for 85 years you can't do it and never will be able to do it. Cut the tank up into pieces 1/2" or smaller and scatter it to the wind. Yes it serious and yes it can go bad but you know your skills and whether you can do it or not...

    T5 Fluorescent vs Metal-halide

    I looked into the LEDs a little but they aren't cheap so unless I can find some great deal on them they are out. Yeah the 5 min. warm up time is something I thought about but I'm not one to rush in and instantly start working on something. It takes 5 minutes to make a cup of coffee :) So right...
