Welder & a Machinist for 15 years, Been a computer network engineer for the last 10 years

I would agree, Its best to build a relationship with your local welding supply store, most of them will deal on the price plus you are going to need gas, wire tips, etc.. My local supply store for instance just gave me a much better deal on gas prices (40%) less then I was paying!! Now to get...

x2 Love that smell!!

True... true, But cant that be said for anything spinning in a drill press chuck?:)

That reminds of a good story, a few years back I was visiting my parents & a major thunder storm rolled thru, Knocked out power for 2 days, anyway the first morning no power = no coffee (for my dad totally unacceptable) so he grabs the coffee pot full of water & the coffee & heads out to the...

I have a Miller, Millermatic 250 had it for about 12 -15 years & I love it, still works great never had a problem with it & plenty of power for what your looking for.. I think the replacement model is a Millermatic 252 I like Miller welders the best, but I could be accused of bias as I live in...

Don't think I have a favorite drawer, But by far my favorite tool....

Not sure I would like that smell IN the shop :lol_hitti

Unless your a machinist or know a machinist you probably don't know what a wiggler is.. I use mine all of the time. With a little patience, a good scale (ruler) and maybe a magnifying glass you can locate holes on a drill press within +- .015 or better.. Instead of me going into all of the...

Race gas burning in an internal combustion engine.. Preferably a large CI internal combustion engine!!!

Sorry to be a bit long winded here just thought more detail made the (true) story better.. So, Yesterday I am working on my compressor, adding an automatic drain valve So I shut it off and drain the tank, now I already know the "T" fitting isn't going to fit under the compressor so I have a...

Awesome fab work, I worked for 3 years in a fab shop that did nothing but railings and stairs & I can tell you that that is how we would have "jigged" up a job like that. As for the "mistake" you made if you didn't point it out I don't think anyone would notice!! In my opinion a VERY good...

I have had these for years & I have no clue what they are.. Some kind of crimping tool I am sure, But what? Thanks!!

Now that one made me laugh out loud! I'll have to try that!!:beer:

I have my Vise Grips in the drawer above my Crescent wrenches & for some reason I mix them up all the time...

May sound like a weird question But I have been doing some fab work out out in the shop this afternoon/evening and I made about 4-5 cuts with my chop saw about 2 hours ago & the smell is driving me crazy!! always has!! I've had about 4 beers & I can still "taste" that smell!!! Not sure if its...

Definitely wish it was deeper!!!! If I am working on my Bronco II or the Mustang its not bad but just about anything else I'll turn it sideways. I thought about walling up the 2 doors, putting in a header & a single 16' on the gable end but it is a lot easier to just turn the car sideways.. I...
