Here's a repeat job. They are concrete forms i cut some rectangular slots in with a simple jig.

I would have to say its pretty insignificant. 1/2" 100' air line is barely more than a gallon of extra air volume. I guess you could call it effective if you have one of them 1/2 gallon pancake air compressors. 🤷‍♂️ Consider a back feed tank if you have a long run and or smaller air line...

Working in the trucking industry i use nylon DOT air lines. super tough and super simple to deal with. They have compression style fittings and push lock style in every elbow and pipe thread size available. It pretty much the same a pex.

Delete this post. Hit a elk and total it out. Buy a Cummings. How miles are on it?

Got some batteries mounted. I put them both on the drivers side so I have space on the passenger side to get clever with the ac condenser down the road. Hot garbage

I modified this old Offenhauser Buick 455 intake manifold. Dropped the mounting surface down .180" and gasket matched the ports. The owner will do some hand porting on it. It goes in a AWD 71 buick skylark i have been involved with. Now i get to clean this mess and tram in my...

I got the old core support ends morphed into my core support. I mounted the old air box. Its close to the turbski so the mount is also a heat shield. I may put a turbo heat diaper on the turbo asswell.

Welded this frame section onto this golfkart today. I tig welded the frame section out last week.

A quick balance test would be to set your amps to 120 ish and floor it and just form a quick puddle dot in a piece of plate with no filler. Set the balance on low end and the high end and see which gets you a bigger cleaning action. What size tungsten are you using and what kind? I...

Sounds like you have too much leading torch angle. AC welding is extra picky with torch angle because of the AC arc natural want to wonder, and the filler wire will melt easier. 0-10* is where i try to keep my torch on top of pretty much only using 1/8 filler with aluminum unless im welding...

No not yet. Things to consider with trying to dial in the amperage. AC current is usually consider a 50/50 on where the heat is going. 50% is going into the work and 50% into the tungsten. This is because the current is switching between DCEN and DCEP 60hz times a second. Current flows...

They look clean enough to me but the weld is cold. It looks like he fired the torch and started moving along before there was a good established puddle and before the cleaning action had stripped off the oxide layer. When you start with aluminum let the heat soak in for a bit and let the...

Knocked out some mothers day gifts.

Hes the crazy old loner guy that has came around my house for the last 8 years. We call him crazy tom, he refers to him self as C Tom. Hes 70 years old but has the spirit of a 25 year old kid. If you love stories you should hear his. From desert storm, to CIA, to NSA, to flying F22s, to...

I got all that nonsensense to fit behind the factory grill bezel. Ill have to make a grill insert but nbd, Replaced the damaged fender today so i can finish the core support. Fuel shut off push pull cable.

Cut the giant bumper tube off. i think i will reuse the tube as the bumper but more better and it will bolt on. I had to straighten this front x member. Some one had hooked a chain to it at some time and waded up the one corner pretty bad and torn out the rivets. 2 gen core support...

Cleaned out a years worth of death mud. This last year had tons of aluminum ran through it.

Some might call it extension cords, i call it 3 way wire.

I made some crude shelves down in my dungeon with my lady and mediocre carpentry skills.
