Here's a link to the current Heat Treat Oven. There's quite a bit of information at the bottom of the page. If you need more help contact KnifeDogs customer support. They've been very helpful to many on here.ll

Nice! I like the copper bolsters a lot!

Nicely done!

Also on the Argon tank I would go with the 80. But that's not entirely an informed opinion. I don't have a tank (yet) for my welder, but I've been looking extensively and I think the 80 is a better buy in the long run. But I suppose it also depends on how much you are going to use it.

That's a really good price! The Welder I bought recently, An ArcCaptain 200 will do TIG. Though you have to buy the TIG torch separately. I really like the multi-functionality as I can also do stick, MIG with gas or not and Aluminum with a spool gun. And it will also do spot welds. I don't...

Nicely done!

Thanks Bob. The Deck itself is Redwood with a Redwood stain. The supports are all treated Douglas Fir. All of the bolts are stainless. And the hangars are all specifically for decking. I think I spent more on hardware than I did wood. And I absolutely love this welder. It's both 110 and 220. I...

Thanks Gliden...My wife passed away last year and left a small life insurance policy that covered all of it and then some. The deck turned out to be double what I had originally budgeted, so the extra money was needed. And my old welder was simply not up to the task of doing the iron work. And I...

Hello I haven't posted on here in some time. Couple reasons. One I had surgery in February that kept me out of the shop for two months. And since then I've been working on replacing a very shabby deck. As a result I bought several new tools for the shop. So here are a few photos of what I've...

Welcome aboard!

Okay...got it! Actually I've used new cat litter. Seems to do the job and it's cheaper.

I'm confused... Vermiculite is a mineral. Whereas Pearlite is a type of steel. Am I missing something?

This maybe a little far-fetched, but how about modifying a leaf blower?

Welcome aboard!
