I do hand cut metal art with plasma and I am running an Everlast Power Plasma 50 and love it. I cut stuff from 22 gauge to 1/2" no problem. It is dual voltage and cost $800ish (had it for a couple years haven't priced it lately) I use it every day without problems. Great machine!

I'm back

I primed it good and painted it with automotive paint and clear coated it. Turned out slick.

This is before paint doing a final fit

Thanks John!!!

Small project came up and I thought it would be the perfect time to fire up the old Hobart Handler 140!

Finally got to put them on, and scored a horizontal/vertical bandsaw!!!

I haven't met back up with the guy to get them on it.

Thanks I tried them on the machine the other night and the hinges were a 1/2" off from hooking up, since I didn't have a machine to try them on I was happy with my shooting in the dark. All I have left is to drill out the robots and move on hinge a 1/2" and call it good.

I don't recall.
Cpl hours maybe.

Are a couple of hours the same in Alaska as here in West Virginia? I usually say it took a couple hours and my wife will say more like 6

Made a set of diamond plate doors for an SA 200

Sorry I haven't updated, was in the garage. My neighbor and his wife are both GM mechanics Thursday I blew the motor, Friday bought one from a junk yard, Saturday put the motor in and Sunday test drove!

I love every CW McCall song out there!!! This is my only vehicle my wife and I are just starting out and saving everything we can to get a house and get our business up and going so I need it to do what I want. The hitch is there invade I need to pull a utility trailer to make deliveries that are bi...

Well ever since I put that hitch on my truck my power steering has went out, I had to rebuild my rear end, and tonight on my way home I spun the rod bearings out and blew the motor, AND I HAVENT EVEN TOWED ANYTHING WITH IT!!! :x I told all the critics that the truck would crap itself before that hit...

Lipo the hitch made my rear end look too big

I plan on testing the hitch this weekend. I have over a grand worth of deliveries and projects and I need some extra space so my neighbor is loaning me his 4x8 utility trailer. Unfortunately tonight we were rebuilding my trucks rear end so hoping that holds lol

To all my haters look what I found at tractor supply at least mine bolts to the frame in 2 places

I tried it out today, did good!

Hey I will take you on!!!! I hope your GMC has a strong frame! lol

I figured that out after I posted lol I don't see why people are so mad about it I see nothing wrong with the design and I ran 2passes into each joint so I know it's solid

This thing is bolted in three places, two are indirectly bolted to the frame one is where the ball bolts to tow with anyways so I know it isn't going to break and anything that truck can move and stop safely will never break that hitch!

It is to display hitch covers and a place to hook a chain in case I need pulled that is mainly it. I guarantee it will hold up to whatever the truck can move. It is only a 2wd 4cylinder truck so it will power out before it breaks.

Finished and on the truck

I'm not a TIG snob it's just that my mig welder is too small to handle 1/4" and I didn't want to open my only can of Excalibur 7018 and the only other rods I had were some wet 6013 so I opted for TIG
