Although I'm in the sign business, I have not had to hang an MDO (plywood) sign on one very often. (1/2" x 36" x 60") Does anyone have a good fastener suggestion? Obviously, I don't want it held on by the screw threads in the siding alone and I don't think there happens to be framing behind the...

Here's a few pics of my first welding cart build. Bottom shelf will probably have a small box for misc. tools. It may get modified to hold Welpers, nozzle dip, etc. in the future if I think I need to, but for now I'm calling it done. The 'wide-track' front wheels seem to really add stability...

First of all, I'll say I really like my Hobart Handler 140, but MAN I wish I would have got something with a little more juice! Also, it's amazing how much something can weigh that looks pretty small and 'portable'! I guess when a heavier project comes along (or is developed!) at that point...

I have some dry-rotted tension rod bushings (bottom of control arm to frame) I upgraded to polyurethane, but my question is about the fasteners. I can't find the fastener size for the rod end (where the bushings go). The old nut is buggered/rusted so it's hard to use as a gage for finding the...

After struggling through 3 small patch panals on my truck, I realized that the thin sheet metal (and my lack of experience!) wasn't the ONLY thing I was struggling with--------after I bought a gas bottle and switched to solid wire, I FORGOT TO SWITCH THE POLARITY!!! I was fuming that I...

That's basically it. I bought a quart and plan to scrape, chip, and wire brush all rust everywhere I have access to underneath my truck, then powerwash and treat with Ospho when dry. Trying to get as much life as I can out of the trusty and rusty '96 Nissan P'up.

Well, last week's bend test (3/8 plate, open root, uphill MIG) I thought everything was OK and wanted to ease or radius the corners some before I bent them. The instructor seemed to either be in a hurry to get out of there or something and said 'it doesn't matter'! Well, I know it matters and...

OK, it's a small one, but here it is. In the process of extending my truck's useful life as cheaply as possible, while using it as an excuse to purchase more equipment, I decided to try a little sheet metal fab in the form of these manageably-small rust repair patches for the fender wheel arch...

Well, the title says it all. Besides 'practice' and 'under-the-hood time', if anyone's got any specific advice for a student trying to get a cert in 3G MIG, I'd be glad to hear it! I think the root is the hardest for me. Spring Break is over and it's back to class and I need to really make...

If anyone would care to share, it would be interesting hearing what guys on this forum do for a living. I'm in the sign business (self-employed) but love fiddling with machines and tools of all sorts. My project car was a '78 Cutlass with a swapped 455. Car Craft had an article that said it...
