Anything welding

Probably, but traction isn't really an issue when the other 3 tires are on pavement. It's more so that there's not enough friction between the ground and ramp to keep it from sliding.

 

Quick project this morning. Needed another crossbar to mount my tail bag to.

I'll probably grind the top welds flush since I am not as happy with it. I also messed with turning down the CFH just to see if I have been wasting gas according to some previous discussions... went from 20 to 10 and no porosity. Might keep it there since 99% of my welding is done indoors.

 

Yep, I'm usually sub 10 on the gas as well.

 

Every time I walk past my gas bottle I touch the knob to make sure it's closed. Did I suddenly get OCD or is this normal?

 

Actually quite normal.

I had a buddy over doing some random job. Finished and then clean up. My bud told that I checked the valve on the tank 4 times while cleaning and storing tools. I didn't remember.

You only need to run out of gas on a Saturday night in the middle of of hot job once to make you OCD.

 

For me it's checking I turned the compressor off, welder breaker off, gas off, and propane tank off every damn time I use them. Turning the welder's breaker off every time is likely overkill but it's literally under the welder so figure better safe than sorry. Though I guess I am also not sure what I am afraid of, not like i would turn the dryer's breaker off after every use.

 

Found the other magnet I knew we had, been stuck to the TIG cart for a while

 

Whats the best way to clean those off? I'm just starting out, and haven't quite figured that one out yet

 

Air nozzle with a tight tip

 

I don’t do enough TIG welding to be good at it. Welded these 5 parts together, here’s the 1st and the 5th.

 

Gotcha, so just shootem off?

 

Yes sir!

 

Sweet, thanks for the tip. I've been trying to pick them off with my hands or a brush hahaha

 

Here’s what I used, it’s a 3/16” pipe in the end of a regular nozzle.

 

throw it in the garbage.
I hate those things

 

You can tell I don’t use them much either

 

I don't trust them to be square, but they are nice for holding things sometimes

 

These weren't square, I clamped them to the mill and milled them square. I use them more like you have them in that picture than anything. Getting ready to use them on this bent loader to hold the pieces on, cut out the bent and replacing with new.

 

Nice, that looks like a fun project. I can't wait until I can get a place of my own and setup my own shop. Right now I'm borrow driveways haha

 

All set for your own Wooly Willy...
