    Portable GMAW system

    Could I? Absolutely! And have been quite certain that was my only option until stumbling onto this mini bottle stuff. When I'm mobile with my 140, it's typically a fairly quick job, 5 min of arc time maybe?? (Bad judge of time, haven't thought about it much) I would like to keep it light, the...

    Portable GMAW system

    Interesting thought. I like it. What size are the neck size/threads? Same as a standard bottles? you know what adapters are needed? I'll contact the LWS in the morning about the bottles to make sure that's the right track for me locally. Btw, you have an awesome table build. I love it. It's an...

    Portable GMAW system

    So I have been searching the interwebs looking for a solution to an issue that has been rather continous. I need to transport my hobart 140 with a shielded gas configuration. I am waiting for my local welding supply to get more gas in for a 80cf tank that will stay on the cart. However, being...

    A Hobart, two Millers and a tale of the welding cart.

    Congrats on the finds!! Wish things fell into place when I'm looking for them like that!! Usually the prices skyrocket or all of a sudden I'll find hens teeth before finding what I'm looking for. Great job on the projects!! Interested on what you come up with for a welding table!! If you need...

    Stooge's longer term car projects

    :lol_hitti Not in the slightest!!! Great ideas there, the console, dash.. I could go on and on but you took the time to build, document and photo the things, you know whats there. That's a lot more work than most think. I've tried to do it myself. And though I have most pics (some lost to...

    Newbie with a mystery garage

    Thats a pretty cool backstory!! You should dig up more about that, I'm betting you find a lot of interesting facts. I would think that if you look into the materials/techniques of the era, you may find that his company used the concrete slabs for his business for who knows what and may just have...

    Stooge's longer term car projects

    Stooge, Just read through your entire thread. Fantastic work my friend, you are a true metal magician. I think I've run across your post on C10Forum once or twice. May have to go back and read it all (mostly on 67-72 forum myself). I can't wait to see what else you come up with!! Keep it up...

    Good for them. I always thought it would be cool to be able to "Try it before you buy it". I know thats pretty much what all the clips on youtube are for, but that is genius. Luckily we take the "Equipped" cars with us to races/shows that way everyone can still hear it. Looking at it doesn't...

    Muffler Display Build

    Gungatim, Yes, that makes sense. Sort of a very large open faced cabinet that is shaped like a muffler? That would be awesome if I could scale it down. It may work for the individual mufflers Rsanter, I've thought of something similar as I have a rear bumper for one. But I'm trying to keep...

    Muffler Display Build

    My original thoughts are to use a set of V6 exhaust manifolds as my feet. And using the collector to attach a pipe that will 90 degree up and sweep back to keep it stable. Attach both pipes that go up with a dimpled die'd plate or 2 to connect them and give them some rigidity, and using standard...

    Gluing Urethane to Steel

    I"ve had a decent amout of success with RTV ultra black in such a situation. My rubber pad wouldn't stay on my floor jack. It doesn't react to heat like a typical glue. It won't dissolve with anything that may find its way onto it (Fuel/transmission fluid etc). And if it starts to come loose...

    I have been excited for sometime to post one of my projects here. unfortunatley I come to you with a complete and utter creative block. I have built all sorts of random things (just like most everyone) and this one has me a litle stumped. Usually when I'm presented an idea for a project, my mind...

    Howdy All!!! My name is Kris. I have been lurking around for about a year now since I bought my first home (which is still standing, thank you :thumbup: ). I have searched all the archives and have always managed to find answers to my questions, but have not contributed. And the time has come...
