I have a small Duralast ratchet set. Is it possible/advisable to lube the mechanism somehow? Is so, how and with what? Oil, grease? Thanks.

Question for CAREER welders I understand there are probably a lot of 'hobby/occasional welders' on here, and nothing wrong with that, but this question is for the guys that are under the hood all day, every day, exposed to welding fumes and smoke. What are you using (hopefully, SOMEthing!!!)...

I'm a MIG welder, but want to work on my TIG skills. I could use BOTH on occasion, so you see where I'm going with this! I've been looking at the ESAB Rebel 235ic and also Miller Multimatic and would like to hear from FIRST-HAND users of each about what you're impressions are of them. I had...

When I started yet another 'hobby/business' that required a cooler, and not owning one big enough or of the design I liked, I designed my own. It's not done yet, but you're looking at where it's at now. 4" thick foam walls all around----top, bottom, and sides. 4 re-freezable PVC ice-packs at...

Any of you guys used Valspar oil-based 'Tractor and Implement Enamel'? It doesn't look like it has many 'solids' in it and wondering if it is just the particular can I got. I plan to actually use it to coat out a small MDO sign in my sign shop just to see how it performs (or doesn't!) I have...

I posted this back when I finished it a few years ago, but know there might be some new guys on here by now! If not and if the mods want, by all means, I can delete it or they can! I got my MIG cert at a local community college and shortly thereafter, bought a Hobart Handler 140. (I've since...

Any of you Chicago area guys who may end up restoring any heavy tools with embossed lettering on them that you want professionally lettered, PM me. Signpainters can do more than just paint signs!

Because of a skin allergy, I'd love to order some of these chromium-free leather welding gloves (the 'MEC Welders'), but I've been unable to navigate through their page and find any way to ship them to the US! I guess they don't need my money :S If anyone can figure out how to get a pair of...

I'm no electrician, so here's the dilemma. I use our microwave mostly to boil water for coffee, etc. Just a single cup of water at a time in a Pyrex measuring cup. But lately, before it even comes to a boil, the breaker blows! It's getting very annoying running downstairs and re-setting it all...

I bought this sprayer based on the rave reviews it got online. Part way through the very first pump, I heard hissing, and sure enough, it will not hold pressure! I checked all the 'obvious' connections, but they are tight and the only place it is leaking seems to be through the 'relief valve'...

I have been trying to respond to PM's from other members, but when I 'send' the PM, it doesn't show up in my 'sent' folder, so I have no idea if my messages are getting through. Anyone have a clue what's happening? Thanks.

A recent 4 x 8' all hand-lettered. Here I am in 'action! Please check out my page, like and share, especially if you are within 'working distance' of Elgin, IL! Thanks. https://www.facebook.com/gassersignsandlettering/photos/a.544498368912258.136643.543750662320362/1621127681249316/?type=3&theater

Any of you guys used these gloves for welding? Wondering how they hold up. I'm looking for non-leather options, or at least non-chrome tanned leather options, as I'm very allergic to the chromium used to tan normal leather gloves, unfortunately! (It ruined a MIG welding career for me) Thanks...

.....today, did a little experiment with oxidized/faded sign weathering techniques. You'll need to get the big view to see what I'm talking about here, probably. Here, you see old lettering that has oxidized and is starting to streak/stain the areas below each letter. (Sign is brand new---all...
