1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Did you buy it dinner first?

 

No I followed your lead on the tonneau and biffed it

 

lol I've never seen a shipping discount like that before

 

Excuse me I have a high quality Helen Keller level paint job.

 

I found the tragic weakness of ground wasps.






A Shop vac.

 

Will 1st gen tundra kings fit 1st gen taco?

 

Probably

but atleast the valving maybe springs probably need changed.

 

FUCKING MINT



Class hooks it up with a passive hood, that's the Miller on the left.

Supposed to be a great passive setup.

But the instructor (morning class one, that's done TIG most his career) suggested an auto-darkening hood with 4 sensors minimum.

Also, I'm a week and a half already ahead of schedule so they'll have me cutting sooner than later. Been putting a lot of hours non-stop in the OSHA classes

 

I just picked up some 2018 4runner 17s for free for the taco… if I get the tires mounted this week I’ll post picks of how it sits in the 02..

 

3m speedglas is what I use.. and I love.. I’ve got 3 different ones lol

 

AHH THERES SO MANY.


They really don't like it when you stab their hole with a broom handle.

 

Yeah, it'll be a loooooooooooooooooooooooong time before anything like that comes along.

I'm just super anxious about our house so I can put together a setup at home.

Passed by the other day; the outer perimeter is starting to go up!

 

Awesome!
I’ve been looking at property a lot more lately. (Poor Todd’s noticed the lack of me being in games) I’m really hoping to get something this year if one strikes my fancy… get a pole barn built and actually start fabricating shit like we use to when my fathers friend had a fab shop we could use

 

Fucking a, sounds like a plan!

Pricing hasn't gone up like crazy over there has it as far as property and shit goes?

 

Housings through the roof. Property is still steady. I want to get on it before rates go up.
People are racing out of illinois. So building isn’t what most people want to do.

 

My school wanted everyone to use non-auto darkening pipeliners hoods. I said screw that and got a cheapo auto darkening.

 

Yeah, with my discount the auto darkening wasn't even expensive either!

Instructor says; this, this, this, etc. you can cheap out on. They're consumables (brushes, gloves for stick/mig, etc).

This, you'll want A but B will work as well depending on how serious you get (hood, other odds and ends).

You'll definitely want this if you want to keep it for a long time and not have to buy again (welder, cart, etc).

 

what you going with for a welder. I love my millers. Esab (owned by victor torches) is good.. i've never been a fan of Lincoln.. except the stick welder i had.

 

Its all subjective. You find what you like and what you dont. I like a Jackson hood with Tillman Tig gloves that I use for Mig as well. Mig/stick gloves are too hot and have little dexterity for me. A miller cotton jacket works great for me.

As far as consumables we have a work account with AirGas so its all the radnor garbage they sell.

For machines Im a Hobart/Miller guy. I suggest people stay away from the cheaper chinese inverters (AHP, Everlast, Longevity etc) that are super popular just for the simple fact that its hard to find consumables for them without ordering online. And you will reach a point where you need a gas lens at 4:15 on a Friday and Airgas only carries the Miller ones.
