    A bit for this thread. Up till now Alex hass done a lot of his cutting with a side grinder on big metal. It's a nasty job. He just got this and is loving it. He said he cut out the whole side of a conex container yesterday at the fire burn building training area.

    That ground wire had a piece of still black hose slid over the worst open area. I figure I can still use that...secure it better. For the other bare areas...use electrical tape there since it is a ground wire, not carrying current?

    Kyle...I am working on Grandaddy's welder. I bought some basics today...picts below. The fellow at the welding supply house I went to said he had not seen the type "studs/plugs"...where you swap the leads....he did not have a female end that I could mate my single "ought" cable to. He sold me...

    Thanks!!! I'm glad I found an excuse to stay up late and get to read your input. Thanks for the details. I'll fuss with this more tomorrow...headed to the farm later this week and plan to take Grandaddy's welder back home to his shop.

    I am looking at getting this to hold welding rods...looks pretty generic to me (but I know squat about welding).

    It looks like the reddish/pink round part is full of solder or lead...I suspect that may be how they terminated/insulated the end of the wire...to join the boltable end to the wire end?

    Working on rewiring my grandfather's old stick welder. I got a new power wire run today and Kyle was right... Had to take out some mice nests from the inside but the internal parts of the welder look okay. The leads are awful... Rotted cracking insulation everywhere. Kyle, any idea where I...

    My son, Alex, has torn the deck off the back of his house...he and a buddy built a great deck about 8 years ago...strong, big, great until the carpenter bees had their way...he tried all kinds of stuff but they targeted it for some reason. He is going back with steel and concrete...yesterday he...

    That is so many levels beyond my understanding of things electrical. I think it's awesome that people understand that kind of voodoo and can tame it and use it. I have a good friend that would totally understand what you just wrote and be able to comment own it coherently. He's the same one that...
