1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Thanks! Turned out great. The wiring harness even bothers me a lil haha. It’s not perfect.

 

Not really sure this applies but made me think of this.

A. I find that hilarious because cats +hard hats

B. I can relate because I've worked enough blue collar jobs to know what that's like.. and

C. Do you tag me specifically because it's a Stihl?






Also in regards to you're earlier talk about welders and possibly needing a dedicated TIG vs MIG or going the route of a dual purpose machine that @Blue92 suggested...

If I were you I wouldn't buy anything for the house until you've personally experienced each version of machine. Depending on what you'd like to do as a possible side business, Or real job, or etc, will make a huge difference in what you'll feel most comfortable with in your garage. I like Danny's point of strike-arc TIG in that it's a lot cleaner for garage settings (with the no splatter thing) and switching over to stick is great when you need to do some serious sticksteeltogether shit. His schooling was geared towards passing an AWS cert so it makes sense he'd be most comfortable with that set-up. Plus he's dead on about it being the cheapest homebase setup for variety of welding applications.

My schooling was based around the engineering side of welding (cause we were programming robots to do it for us) so reading and understanding prints, history of study and how metals melt together and then the end of the year went towards introducing every style of machine to weld with, and then trying out each one. Between strike and pedal tig, I'm better at pedal. But having to fake weld professionally, mig is my absolute go to. I just have 3 bottles of gas and swap wire for stainless vs normal steel. And use a spool gun for aluminum. Easy and convenient, and most importantly for a business, fast. (It'd be a different story if we hired our own full time fabricators but currently, it's faster)

So .. tl;dr wait to buy before you try

 

Happy Thanksgiving LT!

 

Happy Thanksgiving

 

I tagged you because your sense of humor is as broken as mine so I knew Cats w/Hardhats would be enough

As for machines, I know I need to give it some time before I really get anything.

Maybe I should skip the sub-800 machines and go big from the get go

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Hope y’all have a fantastic day of joy and gratitude

 

I must be living under a rock because I had no idea there was a new Matrix movie coming out next month, looks interesting

I told my wife that Morpheus is being played by a new actor and she goes "you mean it's not Samuel L Jackson anymore?"
*stares motherfuckerly*

 

Happy Thanksgiving guys, I'm glad to have y'all to chat with.

 

The bars were surprisingly ded last night

 

Bars in Utah sound like a somber affair anyway

 

Why yes, I would like a shot of sacrament water

 

Are you Tyler's alt acct today or something

 

Wat

 

I dunno that was oddly funny

 

Yere you go y'all.

 

Apparently Keanu didn't want to act in it until he read the script, so that's promising.

 

That'd be sweet!
