Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I made a box filled with just normal play sand works good for post weld heat control .

When your a little person without a fancy computer controlled induction heater.

It depends on temperature fiberglass might melt!

 

I’ve even heard of guys using salt.

 

A shop I worked at this was a everyday lunch time heating food with the oxy -fuel torch.

 

Nothin’ like Turbo baked beans. Just be sure to puncture the can.

 

Fiberglass insulation won't melt unless the temperature is over 1000 degrees.

 

Wow I had not thought of that for years.

Turbo manifold cooking !

Never fails someone always forgets and you have a mess all over the engine!

 

Boss man could even tell the Brand.

 

Sometimes the temperatures could be !

Off the top of my head I can not remember the real numbers .

 

Might try the heat gun next time, got a bit charred for my liking

 

Fun fact, if your welding helmet has a low battery light on, do not crank the 480v MIG welder to 11. I'm still seeing spots...

 

When I worked at windixe I used a wrapping machine hot plate turned up all the way. We always had something wrapped up in foil cooking in there

 

"..it seemed like a good idea at the time..."

 

I wanted to save the 5 minutes... welp that was a bad idea

 

No worse then having that unexpected bright light turned on !

Kinda like the flash on cameras in the good old days!

unprotected eyes are different when your coworker gets you.

 

Explains why the flashing lights behind me were Red & Blue. Opposite sides of the spectrum. Kinda butters up the eyes before the Big White light appears at the door.

 

Yeah man, I figured it would cost me $150-$200/day to rent one when I need it, why not just buy this for less than that cost. I haven't had much time to play with it but I did get a video of it working before I purchased it. Good to know, I have a PDF download but I'd pay $20 for a book in a heartbeat. I'll snag one.

And yep, you're dead on 9hp and I'm fairly certin it's an AEN. Got a Fairbanks Morse magneto on it. No spark but shouldn't be too bad to get that figured out. The points are absolutely shot so that doesn't help.

 

Speaking from experience I see.

 

Twice or three times a month. When you leave @ 3AM it’s prime time downtown.
