My hose only has two angles. :D

I try not to deny anybody their fantasy as long as they have the coin. I draw the line at unnatural sex acts tho, lol.

It’s stupid.

.gov engineers are the worst but $20 is $20.

What’s the grinding wheels for? :D

Find a “little” person. I’ve been inside of a few OWBs, it’s not easy.

“6013 commonly available around here is actually almost never used by the welders” I can’t think of anything anyone would weld using 6013.

The first welding instructor I had wouldn’t let us run 7018 until we passed all position bend tests with 6010. He said 7018 runs itself and you won’t learn much from it, he was right. Now 90% of stick I run is 7018, 8018 and 11018.

I’ve had a sheltered life as far as welding goes. Been welding for 52 years and to this day I’ve never used AC for anything other than Tig on aluminum so I really can’t give you any advice on using it. One thing I will suggest is to keep those magnets as far away from anything you’re welding on...

Are you using a DC machine?

It can’t hurt. I’ve opened a new can of rod and put in the rod oven and ten minutes later there’s condensation on the inside of the lid of the oven. I try to keep xx18 at 300* , it runs better in my opinion. Fuk what the inspectors think, they’re mostly just college idiots that never struck an...

Wonder where that came from. :|:

“did anybody weld something they would like to share” Nothing that wouldn’t bore those that know what they’re looking at or confuse those that don’t.

Construction caused inflation?

Everything is up. Flood the system with fake money and somebody has to take up the slack. Four years ago I was paying $18 a stick for 2x2x1/4 angle, now it’s $68 and the costumers think I’m robbing them.

In a pinch you can tape a rag to the top back of your hood so it hangs down over your neck and blocks the light from behind you. Not very fire safe or fashionable but it works.

If it makes you feel any better I can’t weld blindfolded and drunk either. :D

As much as I despise epoxy and any form of “cold fusion” this stuff is pretty badass. You can use it straight out of the can in a paste or thin it down to liquid. I’ve used it to coat the inside of motorcycle gas tanks. https://www.alvinproducts.com/

You need 100% argon and high frequency AC for aluminum if that’s what it is. Test it in a spot where it doesn’t matter with a grinder, dull dark red short sparks for cast iron and longer brighter red sparks for cast steel if I remember right. No sparks from aluminum of course. If it was me and...

I guess I’ve passed on some of my experience, helped find it within themselves but they wanted to learn. I don’t have the patience to deal with flushing bullshit out of people’s heads. Teaching is a skill in itself.
