Great! I will definitely take my time on all my projects now. I guess it is better for the project to take longer and end up with a great result than to get the project done quickly but not of good quality.

Sweet thanks! I have liked the abrasive wheel, and they're cheap so its not that big of a deal. I just bought a portable bandsaw and will be making a stand for it that I can switch between horizontal and vertical, so I will do all of my thick metal cutting with that. The thin wall and miter cuts...

That's awesome! I have been wanting a band saw really bad but I am transferring to University of Oklahoma next fall and I will be moving from California to out there in the summer. So don't really have the space for a full size bandsaw! This will allow me to have what I want! Thanks for posting...

I am still adding expanded metal to the shelves so the big stuff wont fall through the bars. But it still shows the idea, as compared to a solid metal shelf. I think I may build a shield for the side of the bottle that is exposed towards the table. And I am aware about my abrasive wheel, I need...

Thanks for the tip!!! I appreciate it. If you read what I said in the caption I talked about how I knew I should have cleaned it better, just dont have much time when i get to work on my table and it wasnt structural, just there to hold the tray in place. But either way, I am thankful for the...

I had made my first post on the "show us your welding projects" thread, but this project for me is something that will be going on for a little while as I add stuff and tweak my current design as I build. So I decided I should start a thread dedicated just to the project alone. I will insert...

Thank you so much for the info! I normally am really meticulous on trying to get my surfaces as clean as I can. But lately I haven't had much time so the precious hour I may get one night of the week working on my table must be spent wisely. I am going to swap out the ground clamp altogether on...

Have you ever been on digitalcorvettes.com? It is another corvette forum. Back when I first bought my 1975 vette when I was 16, I didn't know much except for the basics of cars.. My dad had tinkered around with them here and there and did basic maintenance. He did have a 1976 firebird formula...

Of course I can be patient... I wasnt meaning to put any pressure on you guys. I completely understand people actually have lives and other things to do than be on the computer. Too bad it isnt easier to convey sarcasm through the internet.:lol_hitti

My recent projects I have been welding a lot for a few weeks now. I got my first welder, a Hobart Handler 187 and its a great machine. I had some previous experience, but only a few times over the last 4 years as I was building my car (a 1975 Vette) when I needed something welded so went to my...

So what am I supposed to do with my life now that I have reached the end? I have gone two whole days at work on my lunch break refreshing the thread frantically, desperately desiring to see another post... sometimes I cant even sleep at night....

I will most definitely have to look it up! One of the saddest parts of me moving is that I won't be able to take the love of my life (the vette) with me when I move. My dad's whole side of the family lives out there, but there's just no room to store it and I'll be living in an apartment, so I...

Oh darn, I guess I'm too far gone already then. Such a shame to have already been addicted to all things classic and american. I guess I will just have to live the rest of my life with this in curable disease. Well maybe there are some upsides to it... Thomas, I truly hope that it will all...

Thomas, I discovered this thread about 2 weeks ago and have been absolutely mesmerized by it. I have been reading it daily on my lunch breaks at work and every moment I have had at home when I'm not doing homework or other things. I have thoroughly enjoyed everything, I'm only 20 but I have...

Thanks Erat, I was looking at the 205. I have done a good amount of mig welding and really want to get into tig as well. Plus, I would love to have a plasma too. One question I have, is do you miss the fact you cant weld aluminum with that machine since it has no AC?

What type of everlast is that? is it the 140, 160, etc.? Ive been really looking at getting one.
