    Learning to weld

    If you buy a tank make sure the neck ring has no dealer name stamped into the metal. (may have a name painted on the side though) I've had some that even said "customer owned". Check for same after a swap since the guys in the back may not know or care. Different dealers are picky about...

    Learning to weld

    When I got my welder I picked up a full 250cf tank of 75/25 off KSL for $150. That was almost 2 years ago and It's still almost half full. I will need to get it re-certified before I fill it again though.

    Humphries in American Fork will let you purchase tanks and for a $10 per year fee (+gas cost) will exchange for a full customer-owned bottle.

    I know with fords you have to have two keys that are programmed to get a third key accepted by the computer. Otherwise you have to connect to the OBD2 port to force the computer to accept it.

    The Budget Buggy - Take Two

    Nice rig CoCo.. I have full resolution (18 Mp) if you want them. About the stinger, my understanding is they are intended to keep you from flopping onto the top on a downhill line. Does it stick out far enough to do that? or is there another purpose I'm not aware of?

    Welding night!

    Kevin, I'd recommend more sessions with fewer people if the host can be talked into it unless you are shooting for more of a social event than welding school. I just finished helping 11 boy scouts get their welding merit badges and over the course of it found that two watching while one was...
