A bunch of prawns and squid turned up at the shop. Nothing for it but to stop work, get out the bbq and beers. Better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick. Sometimes life’s good. Coldman: not only have you accomplished a great job, you have made some great friends. Life is good. Congrats. Bill

I had the same problem a week ago. A blue speckled U U bird sitting on the wire interfering with wi-fi.

Welcome aboard, Rodel, from Pennsylvania USA. Enjoy your stay and don't be afraid to ask questions. Much help is available from experienced weldors as well as newbies. There are also many videos by Jodie that are very informative.

IF it's searing you're interested in, I have this friend who can make stuff happen. Look throughout the forum and find the story about Jed. Anyway, I used both types of handhelds while trying to defrost water valves on the back of my son in laws water truck. The turbo torch seemed to produce hotter ...

VERY NICE work. Keep us posted in the tig welding section.

as far as I know, all of the cfm talk is only talk. Purchased a new fan hood so my wife can cook and prevent the smoke alarms from activating and from what we were told by the salesperson we bought the best for smoke removal. I thought the way we were told, the darn thing would be sucking the pots o...

darned turbocharged diesel engines, loud pipes and those dog gone flying machines. I know you're sayin somethin...type slow cuz I don't hear too fast anymore.

Well, the story about Jed is a true story. The neighbor wanted to cut into a tank and he couldn't wait to determine what was previously in the tank. He hit with a oxy torch and he took off like the wright brothers. Maybe I just wanted folks to think about cutting into storage tanks. Sorry if I got y...

Thank you for that information. I suppose I'm too far outside the box and worried about equalization. Being retired fly boy and using too much right aileron.

Welcome Aaron from a PA retired (trying to) wrench turner, pilot and gadget guy. I too have gotten hooked on the metal gluing bug. Enjoy your stay and questions are more than welcomed with great responses and help by everyone.

Oscar, thanks for the information and the time spent in the figuring. I am only wondering ... does one tank overcome the pressure of the other at any point in the use of the gases? OR is it possible to insert one way (anti back pressure) valves in the set up?

I'll tell y'all a story about a man named Jed. He wanted to salvage some type of tank and reuse it for a fire pit. Ol Jed couldn't wait to ask what was previously in the tank and he just drug it outside the barn and brought the torch too. He touched the torch off, set it to cut metal and started for...

that's why they come up out of the water the way they do. And when they land back on the surface it scratches the itches. I used to be married to one and that is the way she was in the pool.

Greetings from PA. Thank you for your service and enjoy your stay.

Hello and welcome from Pennsylvania. Enjoy your stay.

That is really kewl, or overheated like LT stated. Don't be afraid of playing with electricity. IF you run into a problem call me, I'll send help.

That's better than finding Noah's arc. They will take a week or two to wear out too. If you can find more, I might make a road trip from PA. Won't take much arm twisting to get it done.

Very Nice job, Coldman. It seems that you can get yourself into some interesting projects. Can you tell us what type of equipment you were using for that repair ?

Hello Jaso....happy to have you aboard. Every day is a learning experience and every learning experience is a learning day. The black soot looking stuff is probably from too little argon and should about wipe off. The "pepper" they are speaking about actually looks like specks of pepper an...

can you ell us a little bit about the machine? OR even a picture of the front of the machine and the setting adjustments. I'm not the best in deciphering but the frost line in the one picture seems to be moving around/changing. Don't know what would be the cause or maybe my eyesight is seeing things...

I've done that. Are you sure that you're getting gas (ARGON) through the torch? Are you welding on AC? And is the balance set correctly?

Not too good at the stainless deal...yet.....HOWEVER, I do know you want to be very careful when welding the A/C lines. If there is any freon lurking around, you can burn it, convert it to PHOSGENE gas and then you won't have to worry about welding. this might be too much to the point but I really d...

I absolutely LOVE that table. Now for the story of the day ...... I put one together and (being a retired fly boy) am learning about L.B. and the tilt effects of not enough steel on one side. I was comfortably sitting at my table about to do some work.. looking across the table and all of a sudden w...

Is the stainless welding process sensitive to the distance and angle of the gun? Is there a lot of wind or a fan blowing the gas away from the area?

Welcome to the forum. My son lives in York. Sit back and enjoy the information provided by everyone here.
