    Good morning Sandz. What's up bro? No, I don't know how to weld, which is a very nice skill to have for sure!!! BUT, I do know how to braze. I haven't done any brazing for years and have been wanting to get back into it and have the equipment, well, most of the equipment. Been contemplating what size Oxygen bottle to get because I do have limited space as it is, WHICH I've been working on that as well! Anyways, aLOT of brainstorming right now!!! But, yeah, I keep running into "projects" that brazing would be perfect for!!! Hence, the reason I've been buying equipment here and there over the years, reading, watching videos, and studying for a while now to get back into brazing! The only thing to really get now is an Oxy bottle and thinking about a 55cu\ft size bottle would do me good for now for small projects!? The only welding I've ever done was metal shop in Jr High, but THAT obviously doesn' really count... LOL!!! I learned brazing in that same class and practiced at home because my dad had the equipment so I was able to practice at home as well. I started brazing again a few years ago, well, actually a while back, but had to stop for various reasons!!! Anyways, that's some of the history behind of what I know. Sorry about the long post, as you all know, I get "chatty"!!! :D What can I say, I like you people!!! :thumbsup:

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Anyone know if Total Chaos coil bucket gussets work with Icon upper arms? Their page says their upper arms or long travel arms only but no stock arms...

    Sitting in class looking at truck parts. :thumbsup:

    Shi- people, if I had a fricken garage I'd have my own rim clamp changer and wheel balancer because I did that for about 14yrs!!! LOL!!! The type of person that I am, I wouldn't be surprised with myself if I had an engine block in the kitchen and the shelves normally used for dishes and pantry stuff would be stocked with grease, solvents , engine parts, etc!!! LOL!!!

    Ron, you should do a mini class instruction course on beginners welding lol. Donations accepted! Put me down on the roster! I'll fork over what they ask in school for what, like 3 credits @ 50/credit? So I'll bring a case of beer and lunch along with my donation! :thumbsup: Hell, I love to organize, bring us all over to help you clean up and get it started sooner than later lol :bananadance:
