    Honestly never been in your LA-ish area. Drove past A TON. But always going to/from San Diego. Would always leave either 11pm or 2am from SD to beat the stupid I-5 LA traffic lol.

    Got the cart and welder assembled. Ran into a plug issue with the extension cord I am making. Should be able to start laying beads tomorrow though...

    The sticker says “tube” so it should actually be measured by the outside. Should be 1” outside if it says 1”

    Pipe would be measured by the inside

    At least this is how it works for all round tube and pipe. Can’t imagine it’s different for square

    Some "pipe" is nominal. The given dimension lies between the ID and the OD. Regardless, if he measured the inside, it would be even smaller and further from the labeled 1" dimension. Looks like he got 7/8" or 3/4", not 1"

    If you get a chance you should check out this video. Dad let’s kids set up brand new ESAB REBEL 215ic. Pretty cool, not a word out of dad even when the roll of wire starts to unwind.:eek:
