Can you do the addition in such a way that you can convert it to a bedroom or other interior space when it's time to sell? That could make the long term financial aspect more reasonable.

I sincerely hope that you find a way to keep your photo career going until you're ready to retire. Both for you and because I think it'll be a loss to society if we no longer benefit from the artistry that you and other photographers create.

I have one of these and I like it. https://www.amazon.com/KINGRACK-Aluminium-Anti-Slip-Lightweight-Stepladder/dp/B0C7TMCLBM?tag=atomicindus08-20

Interesting idea. The failure mode is concerning. I also wonder about the need to have a vacuum pump running whenever the vice is being used. I think you're going to want a short stiff seal. Perhaps even something that's flush with the surface until vacuum is applied and ***** it out of the...

Interesting. My concern is that I do the type of work where I'd use a tool like this sporadically. I'm wondering if I'd have to relearn the thing after not touching it for 8-10 months and if that relearning would negate any benefits.

You need an Acme Hitch 91534. https://acmehitch.com/about-us.html

I was really happy with my Syncrowave but when it died recently I bought a HTP 221 and it's a better machine than the Miller ever was. A lot of that is the difference between a transformer machine and a modern inverter but some of it is the build quality. It's really good. I don't think you...

Rolled steel only applies to sheets. For those pins 1018 is fine.

Recovering New Yorker here. I always kept my shop at 55f when I wasn't out there. That meant that I didn't need to find another home for paints and other temperature sensitive stuff in the winter and I didn't have to deal with freezing cold tools. It was expensive however. You'll have to...

The smallest screw has a major diameter of about 0.020" which means it's likely a 0000-160 thread. Based on the age I'm thinking watches.

I haven't looked but I would expect there to be an upfitter's manual that would help with those questions.

McMaster-Carr has some aluminum elbows but they're pipe size not tubing size so you'll have to look at the dimensioned drawings to see if anything will work. I've made my own elbows by just drilling intersecting holes in aluminum block. You can even add mounting holes to secure it somewhere.

Agreed.

I think the real GJ answer is to buy a box and pan brake, a TIG welder, maybe a bead roller and some stainless steel sheet and make your own.

I tear down valve bodies and other fluid filed things on an Absorbent Mat. For engines I use a couple.

It's not supposed to be bent. It was likley damaged during a ham fisted attempt at adjustment.

For general soldering good metallurgy in the tip is the most important criteria and any of the brand name stations will provide that. All the other features are nice to haves and mostly apply to circuit board work.

I haven't had a need to use the pulse feature yet but I just replaced my dead syncwave 180 with a new Invertig 221 and I'm really happy with it. It does everything as good or better than the Miller did even when it was new.

It likes likes all brands in it's drawers.

Nice looking installation!
