What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

Just finished refurbishing an old, rusty, 43" slip roller. Bought it at an Estate Sale (50 bucks) where it had been stored outside for over a year. Also, built a stand for it so it can be wheeled around the shop. Image

You do nice work! That looks beautiful. Had any occasion to run some test pieces through it yet?

Looks great, I'll give you $100 :lol:

I recently bought the Evapo-Rust but haven't used it yet, also got their Rust Block, supposed to prevent rust for 1 year

Here in DRY Colorado, as long as it's inside we do not have to worry about rust.

That is wonderful workmanship in the re-hab of the tool. My wife "borrows" a lot of my tools and I can usually regroup them from around the pool area --- about 3 months after the heavy rains.
Thought I saw some kind of gizmo on facebook being advertised that will remove oxidation from metalic surfaces. It looked like a hair dryer and I didn't see any actual footage of it working - only still picture in the ad.
