    Old Timers - Was The Blakes Hitch Pretty Cool When Released?

    Storrick covers that too i think, and the different Bachmann knots (i didn't know he had more than 1).

    How'd it go today?

    Thats enough to just swap it with a different make, what sick bastards would come up with something like that!? There's probably a redneck way too, if you got the keeper ring out or destroyed you could pull it, or maybe just cut the other end and weld it back up when you're done or something. I...

    How'd it go today?

    It could be, hard to see on my phone. I would clean it out and check, but if it's not i bet it's a threaded cap.

    Tree down in St Louis. Need help.

    Yeah it needed oil, the right one is 15 years old and was worn daily for years when i was younger, pretty much mig welding all the time with it on too. I didn't have run a left hand pouch mig welding so to distribute the weight better i carried a 2 or 3 pound half sledge in the hammer loop, but...

    How'd it go today?

    I would clean it out really good, blow it out really good with an air compressor, but what it looks like to me is that's a threaded ring holding it in place. If so then bleed the pressure and take the lines off, and then see if you can tap that around with a screwdriver (or something that fits...

    Official Guns Thread

    There's a guy on YouTube that has a high powered air rifle with a night scope camera where all he does is kill rats. Seems unbelievably effective and fun :lol: They also have a repeater trap that drops their bodies so other animals can carry them away, and would only need shoveling their bodies...

    It looks like you can get a spanner wrench in the end of the cylinder, that's how you get welded ones opened. Def get a cheater lens, I'm only 41 and been using one for a couple years now, in tight spots I got to where i can't get my head far enough away to see it, it all just becomes a blur...

    Tree down in St Louis. Need help.

    Mine is so ridiculous that i can easily and comfortably slip pipe wrenches in the 2 hammer holders :lol: i got an electricians bag for my hand tools on the right, a big 2 pocket bolt bag that will even hold a speed square in between the pockets on the left, and in the back i have a hammer loop...

    Tree down in St Louis. Need help.

    I run the cheap ones common in construction with the side ds for lanyard use, the more pads the hotter they are, and they catch sparks from welding right where you don't want them to. I'm also a huge fan of wearing my toolbelt (think ironworker level of tools and design) when working in a lift...

    Yes harnesses are annoying, but getting thrown out of a lift is even worse. I personally know guys who have had lifts tip, ppe is simply playing the law of averages on your side.

    @CurSedVoyce Try smaller whips, aka less movement if you can. With 7018 and 6013 you should be able to drag the rod on the metal, flux gently resting on it, and with enough drag angle that the slag and molten metal flows back behind you and keeps the rod lit. You can also hover right above too...
