Here is a writeup someone had online that I found when I was having troubles with my HF blaster. The only parts I don't agree with 100% is the quick disconnect as a nozzle and the use of playground sand as it has silica in it, I use black blast. "Next, I bought Harbor Freight’s $100...

I used 3/4" board which I think is R7 with no air and R11 with an air space. You can get thicker but I went cheap. It works, I only heat the place when i want to work (on the weekends). -Dan

If you have the same rafter (not truss) construction that I do then I think your best option is the foil covered foam board nailed right to the rafters, this creates an airspace between what ever sheeting your shingles are attached to and the insulation. If you put insulation right against the...

I am not done yet but I thought I would share some pictures of the coolant tank I welded up yesterday. The tank was made from a piece of 6 in ID aluminum tube 26.5" tall that was laying around, it has some heavy pitting but no holes through and it was free. I added 3 NPT bungs to the side and a...

In addition to the sites mentioned above I shop http://www.arc-zone.com/ some too. They are more for TIG and Plasma cutting stuff but they have good prices. I am all about the LWS in addition to online. I get my gas from 2 different local sources and all my consumables from a 3rd LWS. But I...

I know i found this picture on here some time ago, but never found out any more info on it. If someone knows who this belongs to I would love to see more pictures of it. -Dan

I have ordered several times from them with no problems. You can call and place an order too if there is a problem with the webpage. -Dan

I just bought a 125cu ft argon bottle last weekend, it set me back $200 to purchase, and $42 per fill. I would thing you would want to ask at least $1500 for that machine being as new as it is. -Dan

Lincoln Idealarc Tig 250/250, 250 amp (if you could not guess from the model #) tig and stick machine. It came with everything but the argon. I only got the thing home last friday and have only had time to use it 3 times but I have already bought a new torch for it (water cooled) and I am...

Cast aluminum does not look greatest when anodized. -Dan

The bottom 2 are what I based my design on. Nightshift - I still intend on getting you those pictures, I got distracted this weekend with my new welder. The filter is in the horizontal position intentionally, I did not want to keep solvent in the filter (for fear of drying out the gasket) so...

Try pulling a little harder, the bearing slides sometimes get out of place for full extension. I have had this happen on all brands of tool boxes and cabinets before. -Dan

I did Zinsser oil based then Bear porch and floor paint (1 part urethane gloss) on my OSB walls. Though as hell, cleans up very easily, has yet to be attacked my any of my solvents. -Dan

I own one of the finex guns, it works well but I have no idea how it compares to a good gun. the only problem with mine is it looks like the tip is not centered in the air cap, but this could be from the previous owner dropping it as I got ti used. -Dan

Have you tried just calling Lizard Skin? they might be willing to help you out. -Dan

Being most of the TTY bolts I have come across are head bolts I would go for the 1/2. -Dan

No I don't feel so bad, but I am making a push to sell off everything that is sitting around much like jay50 said. I have already started posting parts and stuff on Craig list. The torch is air cooled for now, but I am already trying to find a cheap water pump to build a cooler. Then I am...

Lincoln Idealarc 250/250 welder. 15' TIG torch lead, stinger lead, GROUND lead and foot control. Plenty of extra cups and collets plus a couple tungstens. She works great, very powerful. 208-220-240-480 single phase. I kind of feel bad for spending the money but I have already been told it is...

I don't think it requires a near complete rusting through like you are thinking, all it takes is a weak spot that is thinner then the rest and spread. Just the cycling of the cut in and cut out pressures inside the tank can be the stress needed to initiate it, the tank swells as the pressure...

Aside from the danger of welding on the propane tank it would work. It i sabout the saem size as the tank I used. -Dan
