Re: decent video editing software?

I use Shotcut for my YT videos. It took watching a few tutorials to get the hang of it.

I’ve edited probably a half dozen videos for my channel with it. Given that it’s free, it’s my go to software.

Re: Any OxyAcetelyne cutting tips/tricks?

On the social media side, I'd recommend listening to the podcast for ICWeld's interviews. He is the master of the gas axe. #torchnorris I'd also recommend following his Instagram @ICWeld and his YT channel. He does a bit of explaining, but for visual learners, his form is impeccable and so subtle yo...

Re: Greetings from Virginia USA!

Thanks so much for the visit to the site and for the kind words. I miss my dad all the time. It definitely sounds like you've done some research on Abq. You are correct about MMA training. Drove past the Jackson Wink and Shockwave Defense gyms just yesterday. The Albuquerque International Balloon Fi...

Re: Metal Finish

I've used Johnson's paste wax, car wax (not as nice a finish in my opinion), also have blackened and then waxed or clear coated. I've also colored with heat to bring out color and then clear coated. As always, pre-clean with acetone before waxing or clear coating.

Re: Tig/multiprocess Machine Undecided

I can speak to Everlast customer service. I have a 160STH purchased a couple of years ago. The post flow stopped working. I emailed them, they requested a pic of the info plate and replied with a choice of me sending the unit back at their cost for repair or them sending out a new board for me to re...

Re: Bandsaw recommendation.

This may not be the most helpful response regarding just buying a bandsaw, but keeping an eye on craigslist or the FB marketplace may reveal a bargain on an older saw. I picked up a Kalamazoo 610D a couple of years ago for $100. All it needed was a new hydraulic cylinder. Have cash and be ready to g...

Re: Custom Smoker

Holy smokes!! On the bright side, that may explain the smoker you are building...people gotta eat...even if they can't afford rent, they love that BBQ

How is housing construction going? Building? It sure sounds like a seller's market.

Re: Portable band saw cutting

That's a nice little setup. I have used a Milwaukee portaband for many years with a Swagoffroad table. I sometimes use a miter gauge to help with angled and with 90 degree cuts, but I have had equal success with good layout and just cutting a ton of material to get the feel of the saw. The biggest d...
