Steel sphere fire pit

Hi guys, As the title indicates, I’m looking for a steel sphere to make into a fire “ball”. Anyone have suggestions where to get one? Or how to make one by joining two half spheres?

Roll benders

Hey folks,
Am looking to pick up a roll bender and don’t know anything about them.

Die grinder

Hey guys, I’m looking to pick up an angled head die grinder, to use in place of a 4.5” angle grinder w/flap disc. Can anyone say what type disc/wheel do I need to get to do the same job as 4.5” grinder w/flap disc? I.E. grinding plasma or torch cut edges in tight spaces. Will the 2-3” sanding discs ...

Re: Sand/grind it square

OK, when you guys say belt sander, are you talking about a stationary Sandor, or a handheld belt sander? Like the Tif used for woodworking, With a belt for metal?

Sand/grind it square

He folks,

What type grinder/ sander do you guys use to square up a crooked cut?

Example: cut a 2” square tube at 89* instead of 90. Assuming the piece is cut a hair long,
Is there some sort of bench grinder/sander you use to square it up easily?

Thanks, colby

Re: Brown soot around weld?

No, not silicon, it can be wiped away with a bare hand.
Maybe it’s nothing, but the recent appearance is what makes me question it.
