Rat, those are awesome. Did you get a good deal? If so where did you get them?

Just make sure you balance the load, most of them I see built into workshops have ⅔ of the weight in front of the axles.
You will feel it if you load it like that.dodge610

Not to steal the thread Strouty but I got the managers job at the large auto parts store. Gave up driving truck back at it again in a week that is.

Yea most of the time it will be in the driveway. Don't have a whole lot to put inside yet, but that will change
Tomorrow is when the big order arrives some nice new blue goodness

New to me, steel work table. I think it's a Lyon. It has this cool channel built in for power. I've only got two outlets installed at the moment.

Looking good on the welding.

Thanks! Im really no expert on welding, so that means a lot. I used my oxy torch and fusion welded those, didnt need any filler rod.
BTW, that is the torch set you recommended to me a while back. Has gotten tons of use, heating, welding, and cutting! I love it!

What torch are you using and what size tanks?

I am using a full size O2 tank (330 cf?) and the second largest acetylene tank (200 cf?). A while back, Strouty recommended me a Smith torch setup, right after i got the tanks. It was the entry level Toughcut torch, and Series 30 regulators.
I am VERY pleased with them. The torch came with a brazing tip, welding tip, and cutting attachment/tip. There are MANY other sizes available for the handle.
I have gotten so much use out of the setup since i got it. It helped me immensely when i was replacing the rear bedside on my flatbed.

Thank you very much! I'm currently trying to make heads and tails of all the choices out there for exactly this. I don't cut too much but do sometimes need to cut a motorcycle/atv frame or swingarm or an axle. Having the option to weld and braze would be great.
Yeah they are sweet, as far as a good deal not really just bought them straight from CountOnTools. I wanted to get a really good set and I think they are worth it to me.
Love those Gray's.

I saw your post on the acetylene tank you bought. Like some guys said, that is for brazing/heating. You cant cut without oxygen.
This is the exact set i bought, from the same store. Just pay attention to the acetylene fittings (i believe smaller bottles use the CGA 310, larger use the CGA 500, as it is available in both options).
http://store.cyberweld.com/smwecuoutomb.html
Do a little bit of research on owner bottles and rentals, especially if you are buying used (if you accidentally buy an old rental bottle, nobody will fill it because it would be considered "stolen"). Also make sure the hydro test is in date. It more matters on the O2 bottles, but you will not beable to get the bottles filled if they are not dated.
A quick Google search can go more in depth in all this information.
Just to give you an idea of pricing, used full size O2 bottles normally go for about $200 around here (owner bottles) and similar pricing for acetylene.
If you are doing cutting, remember, you will be using more oxygen than anything, so the bigger the bottle the better (from what I would guess, if you only cut, you will be using 2-3 bottle of oxygen to 1 bottle of acetylene).
With all that said, do some more research and then go hunting for some bottles. I am also sure you could find a good torch/reg setup on the used market.
If that bottle you bought still has some fuel in it, play around a bit. Nothing like playing with fire!

Well when I ordered this it was between this set and another VIM set with the plastic blow molded case. This set has the 18mm where the other did not. These will be going onto a rail in my toolbox so I didn't need the case. This set was alittle cheaper as well.

New Tekton trilobal screwdrivers. Flat 3/6 x 4, 1/4 x 4, Phillips: #1x 4, #2 x4, and #2 x 8. Nice US Made screwdrivers that are pretty reasonably priced. I'll beat them up at work and see how they hang. They have a bimaterial handle but, the rubber section is almost as hard as the red plastic portion. There are three different handle zones, narrow almost round towards the front for finger spinning, then two gradually thicker trilobal handle sections. Size and type of blade are stamped on the top of the handle.
