Re: bending sch. 10 stainless
I could get it in .035 or .063 I am guessing but my brother says 20 ft lengths are hard to hide in his truck, I imagine it would bend easier but all fall sch 10 is easier to get for free EDIT: if it looks good enough for it to stay on my mower it will show up here, I know its an MTD but I made it mine

Re: old boat trailers can be useful

Re: Welding stainless exhaust?
if it has carbon deposits from exhaust flowing through it you should really clean that out first as well, welding on used exhaust has always been a troublesome experience for me, speaking from mig welding exhaust experience btw. I have found removing the carbon from inside of the used pipe make it l...

Re: Dovetail repair on a Circle D trailer.
I would say yes that was bad work, attacking them for bad work is bad on your part though, in my auto shop I do lots of repairs that other shops make but I never say anything bad about them in any manner, I let my work speak for itself,

I have one of the simadre 3in1 machines you are talking about, I have had great luck with mine, with that being said. I would not attempt truck frame repairs with a machine like this, its good for light fabrication and hobby projects but I don't think its going to be a good or even OK machine for he...

Re: TIG welding practice on mild steel, porosity problem
Chuck, First I will say you are doing great! Looks like you are getting consistency down. For advice on how to feed your wire, I personally find it easier to not wear a glove on my feeding hand. I like the feel of the bare hand over the glove. This may or may not be a good habit to learn but it is ...

I got a foot control for my tig, I found that using it backwards works well for me, I position it where I have to use my heel to light up, seems to give me more control when tapering off, im a newbie to tig BTW

I have a 211 at my auto repair shop, I hate it on 110, it buzzes and carrys on like an old nagging wife, hook it up on 230 and it really welds like a miller should, almost as smooth as my 175 I have here in my home shop, if you are running it on 110 definitely hire an electrician to put you a 30 amp...
