    MIG vs TIG - Exhaust ideas

    stainless welds basically the same as mild steel, just different wire (308LSi ,309LSi and 316 wire) and uses a tri mix gas(he/ar/co2). Im almost positive you can use a flux core wire as well if you don't have gas...As far as is stainless worth it..Its definetly an upgrade if its affordable

    Snake repellent......help

    That is the skin of a black rat snake..harmless. As far as repellent,there is none.Snakes don't give a **** about moth balls,sprays or any kind of repellent.It probably just wandered through,looking for food or a warm place to hide.He'll roll out on the next warm day or when he's hungry.

    Plywood suggestions for workbench top

    Marine grade Birch isn't bad(less voids), but MDF is still better. Just remember to wear a mask while you're cutting it, MDF dust is bad ****.
