thanks for the reply steve i was saying about the youtube "scene". i just don`t think it`s fair game for others to use in the title of the video the handle jody collier has been building for so long. sorry if my comment on the fb group upsets someone. it is what i saw and think about it re...

hi rah.. old post sorry to ask so late this idea would solve a couple things in my shop, i would like to ask you a few ball size i did read is 1" but wanted to ask what diameter you drilled the blocks and if you chamfered rod dia and lenght plates thk thread dia and most important how it`s hold...

hi guys, don`t know where to post this, so if anyone is watching and want to move or remove will be fine by me i`ve seen lately that other people on yt are using in the title the phrase welding tips and tricks or tig tips and tricks, seems like a really asshole move on their part but i wonder if the...

hi guys thanks for your answers sadly the local fill is not that friendly and trading is not an option (i already asked), the bottle has its "papers" ok so they said they would fill it with o2 or argon no problem. they didn`t mention that the valves are different but they said if i wanted ...

hi guys first of all, please excuse me if this horse has been beaten to death before but i don`t seem to be able to find anything searching the site (but then i`m not the smartest internet guy) so i need some help. if there`s a thread on the subject please give me some pointers to find it this is my...

nice job ! don`t worry if it`s not perfect, first welding tables never are and are a constant source of inspiration on what to mod (part of the beauty of them) and about the cutoff saw, if it`s an abrasive disc don`t expect it to cut really true, discs warp, walk and do all kind of nasty stuff with ...

nice job man.
did you shim the plates to make them even?

thanks for sharing

hi guys wanted to share a little job i did a few days ago when i fried the armature of a dremel tool i was going to throw it in the garbage but upon closer view i thought i could use the collet, i remembered that the collet had inserts for 1,6 mm (1/16), 2,4mm (3/32) and 3,2mm (1/8) and i could use ...

wonderful job man! who needs to buy tools when we can make them! hope you wear the sht out of such wonderful saw! cheers. pete
now you have to show some project made with the saw!

thanks jonathan! yes i will need all the luck around here ! hahaha

cheers

pete

thanks man glad you liked, i was a little afraid to ruin the job and my friend was so sorry to have broken the caliper. he promised to restore the tool like it was when his grandpa gave it to him

hi guys, wanted to share a little job i did today for a friend. i`m sure it`s a no brainer for experienced tig welders but as you may know i am relatively new to tig (not to welding)... sorry i don`t post much and mainly lurk here, but my job involves much non-exciting repetitive welding (mostly sti...

some comments at first i thought that today you know, the kids live in the playstation/transformers era and something like this would be like "oh thanks-" if you know what i mean, but i must say that the smile and big hug that this little boy gave me erased all fears. he and his brothers p...

hi guys thanks for the kind words last weekend the gift was handed and i was surprised by the big smile of my neph, and the immediate request from my other 5 nephs of similar pieces - ouch - the pics are of the final product, sadly i didn´t have the time to finish the way i would´ve liked, i thought...

hi guys thanks again for the suggestions, now i`m just laughing at this deal bc in no planet of the solar system the time i`ve invested fixing this pos would make sense but anyways i`m following bc i`m just a cheap stubborn sob, hahaha. and bc i want to know a lot of things i don`t... auto darkening...

sorry the crappy pics are from my phone...
