Len,
Good to hear your son is doing well. I had to get glasses to keep myself out of the puddle.

Need help with WP-20 Torch

I have a wp-20 on the machine when I bought it, I don't know how much it was used but may have been a lot. The long black cap that tightens the tungsten will not tighten, the cap seems ok so it must be the torch body. If I loosen the collet body a turn or two it will thread in further and seems to t...

Yeap, Steve S. is right, anything long term in water will cause problems. By long term I mean months not years. You leave the pipes out there year around, S/S would be best. Sorry I did not tell you that part. I would suggest attaching your hoops ( very nice by the way ) with S/S self-locking (nylon...
