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. If all you...

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 Dennis. Not all of the upgrades were necessary for the deck. I could have opted for wooden railings. My next door neighbor has iron railings on his deck. His were done by a commercial outfit. They look really nice, but I couldn't afford to spend the $20K he did on his deck. So I'm opting...

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!

Finally got a knife done! This was supposed to be for Christmas (and I'm not saying which Christmas :rolleyes: ) Wood is Koa Blade is 1075 with a wisp of a Hamon Sheath is Water Buffalo.

I talked to both the Hot Shot dealer and the Evenheat dealer at the last Blade Show West. While I don't remember the details I came away with the impression that the Evenheat ovens are a much better value. Just my two cents

Welcome aboard! Nice work!

Very nice!

Impressive!

Very nice!

Glad to see you back! Your knives are always great. And that Hotrod is very cool!
