I leave the house at 9:45pm, get to work at 10:30pm, work until 8 or 9am, back home by 9-10am...Sunday night through Thursday night.

All good advice. I'm blasting today myself with the same little pressure pot. I paid $10 for mine at a yard sale years ago. I have to filter anything I put in it. I use a wire basket strainer borrowed (permanently) from the kitchen. The black Diamond stuff from Tractor Supply is too big for my...

I think I have returned a couple of items. One I can remember is their stud welder kit. It actually worked fine as far as welding a stud to sheet metal but the slide hammer was ****. The other was their 40lb pressure-pot blaster. It just wouldn't work right. I tried different media and pretty...

I love it!! I built a similar (yet very different) model of a '56 when I was a kid. Your truck is awesome...will be watching this one.:bowdown:

I agree with everything except the "MIG for light stuff"...I work for Caterpillar...nothing light there...all built with MIG. Stick is for "in the field" work and shipyards. I used to train welders for a living...practice, practice, practice works well, unless you are practicing the wrong...

Nice work. I read the first 30 pages (end of the '56 Chevy, start of the Cougar) and the had to go do stuff. I'll read the rest soon. Anyway, take a look at masterseries. It's similar to por-15 at 2/3 the cost. I have used it with awesome results. I sandblasted before using it and then brushed...

I bought a Carolina Carport 20x20. You can buy the carport model cheap and close in the ends as the budget allows. I bought the garage model woth two roll up doors, a walk door, a window, and taller sides. With a 20x20 slab with footer and another 20x20 slab in front of it, electrical ran 300'...

This little building has had a lot of VWs worked on in it. This '67 got lowered, new steering box, engine gone through, etc This '65 deluxe was a stripped out shell. I welded in a bunch of metal, went through the drivetrain, engine, interior, etc I just got the engine back together and in...

Try a Magic Eraser first. Your wife has one under the kitchen sink. Then try the clay bar (works great if the box has been waxed). Oven cleaner works, too.

I just bought the HF stud welder kit and I'm having the same problem. The welder works great but the hammer is junk.

Search for display cases (google) and find one you like, then copy it. I'd use real wood myself.

What is a good welder for you depends on a lot more than the amount you have to spend. What do you want to weld? What do you have for a power source? How often will you use it? I'd say if you are an "average" person that is going to weld mild steel once in a while in your home garage then a...

I forgot about this thread. Here's the final update. My son decided he would rather have a "normal" vehicle. I traded the redone chassis, raggedy body and chopped body for a 67 kombi project. which I sold and bought a new puppy. He's 6 moths old now and about 65 lbs or so. (older pics) The...

Mine is simple. It is 24" x 10', don't remember the height. The top is 3/4" plywood with rounded edges and a couple coats of clear.

Mine is outside behind the shop. I've been meaning to build a cover over it for years.

Manufacturing Specialist for a small work tool (attachments) manufacturing facility, owned by the world's largest heavy equipment company. We build couplers, buckets, forks, etc for medium wheel loaders. I design fixtures (ProE) to build the product and write technical manuals (how-to books) on...

thesamba I'd just make one myself...or pick one up at the next swap meet.

I haven't used an esab welder but a job shop I used to work for had a small esab plasma cutter that worked great. The plant I work at now has an esab plasma table. It works fine, too. :thumbup:

We use those same Bernard water-coolers at work for our whips...really makes a difference. The machines are Lincoln Idealarc DC-600s, Bernard whips. Personally, I have a Lincoln PowerMig 255c (for sale) and a Hobart Handler 140

OK, here we go... Is that bus yours? Did it burn because the fuel filter "exploded" all over the distributor? Do you have any facts to back up that my beloved VWs are going to burn to the ground if I don't run right out and move my fuel filter? Or, is that something you read on the internet...
