    Shop / Tools Opportunity to learn/experience welding... Episode 1

    My pleasure and I enjoyed the evening. I must say that one-on-one really works out for this type of thing and I'm ready to go again. At this point, I'm just going to leave the invitation open so if anyone else wants to come over, just ask.

    Shop / Tools Opportunity to learn/experience welding... Episode 1

    Great, Tonkaman, I'll add, if anyone has a "small/trivial" welding project you need done and want to use as a demo then bring it. No, we won't build your new bumper in this session (but talk to me), but bringing your own practice piece is appreciated, and all the better if it benefits you.

    Shop / Tools Opportunity to learn/experience welding... Episode 1

    for someone who has never welded: this is a good way to experience welding. for a guy that kind of welds: why not, but who is the teacher may be in question. Mig, I'm OK, Tig, I suck. in a sense, this may provide a push for someone considering buying a welder or not. Kind of a try before you...

    Shop / Tools Opportunity to learn/experience welding... Episode 1

    I have little to offer the forum in terms of 4x4 acumen but I would like to reciprocate for all I have learned here. I would like to give someone considering buying a welder, or for those who have a welder they have under used, a chance to spend some time with mine and few tips. I do not claim...

    Official 12V Freezer-Fridges - Do they bring the heat?

    When I ran power to the back of my pickup for my fridge I just tied into the frame for the ground return.

    Official 12V Freezer-Fridges - Do they bring the heat?

    A lot of new cars have a current sensor on the ground lead. If you run a separate ground for the fridge it can cause problems with the battery monitor.

    Eastwood Mig Welder and Plasma Cutter long term review

    That's a really good duty cycle. Is the fan is on-demand or continuous? My MM252 has so much mass to it that the fan rarely turns on with the type of work I'm doing but the fan on the TIG water cooler is constant and so loud that I bought an air-cooled torch for light work. B2, dedicated MIG...

    To tub line or not to tub line?

    My jeep was white as well and the Rustoleum 2x pro stuff was a near perfect match. Also at a mere 6' tall I seldom saw it.

    To tub line or not to tub line?

    Greg, the best thing I ever did for my jeep (and about the cheapest) was to paint the center area of the top white. I just used a couple of rattle cans from HD (the Rustoleum 2x pro stuff covers well). An the IR thermometer logged a 25* drop in the temp of the underside of the top and unless...

    Welding helmets Created equal?

    Cheater lens is a cheap plastic lens like reading glasses that mounts inside your helmet such as this: Speedglas calls theirs a magnifier plate. I've been known to use the cheater lens and my reading glasses. what really helped was a cheap ($15@HD including 2 bulbs) 250W halogen task light...

    Welding helmets Created equal?

    Rockin a Speedglas 9100V with a mild cheater lens. Love the headgear on this one since I can easily adjust it to fit my oversize, misshapen melon.

    Leave it with me and I'll break it in for you... :D Also, if you need to finish out any welding you/I can do it at my place.

    Cummins part from under the dash

    I'd guess solenoid; Coil wrapped around a metal plunger of some sort. Does the starter circuit have multiple solenoids due to the higher amp draw for a diesel starter?
