    Your Pic of The Day

    My wife rolled her eyes when I mentioned that that is about $800 in welding hoods.... Luckily I only paid for one of them.

    Budget Plasma Cutter Suggestions

    It's more of a "Could I use the profit of this job to obtain a new tool." I'm already going to need to purchase a new welder to do this one and may be stretching it thin to get a Cutter as well. Just seeing what the options are. I'll probably just end up borrowing somebody's Plasma Cutter or...

    Budget Plasma Cutter Suggestions

    Oh I use a Hypertherm on a daily basis at work... But I don't have a .Gov daddy handing me blank checks for equipment like MTEC does.

    Budget Plasma Cutter Suggestions

    I have a welding job coming up that I'll need to be making a lot of cuts on 1/4" steel. So I'm in the market for a Budget Plasma cutter to make this job a lot easier. Anyone have any suggestions? If we could stay in the $200ish range that'd be great.

    What did you work on Today; Home Edition

    Major weeding project before Eagle Mountains tumbleweed season begins. My unfinished yard has been getting out of hand with me working so much. So I finally took the time to get out and remove all of my "trees." At least in the front yard and park strips... The side drive and backyard are for...

    Marc Bryson's K30---Errrr '94 Wrangler----wait, '4x MB---I don't know what it is.....trail rig?

    Yes I can indeed weld this... Though my tig welder was giving me fits the other night so I'd have to address that first. The area around the Bolt and Nut may be a little tricky but it's definitely doable.

    Car issues that I can't figure out! Please Help!

    This morning as I drove it to work the idle issue is not presenting itself, but the engine light came on. So now I can scan it and possibly find some more info. Maybe me fixing other things allowed another bad part to reveal itself... 🤦‍♂️ Maybe me digging and shifting things around allowed the...

    Car issues that I can't figure out! Please Help!

    Well I replaced the Throttle Body, Purge Valve Tube Harness, and the Map Sensor. As well as cleaned a bunch of carbon off the Valves while I had them open. Here is to hoping it'll work. When I started the engine up after reconnecting everything it didn't do the surging again. But it was...

    '15 Dodge 3500 Tow Rig

    I know that generation of Ram had the electronic ignition issues. My old 2012 would do that sometimes but it only required jiggling the key in the ignition several times before it would finally register I wanted it to work.

    Car issues that I can't figure out! Please Help!

    I'm going to do a full intake tune up. This motor is hitting about 100k and I don't know if the company that did the engine replacement replaced other components as well so they could be 200k old. Full throttle body replacement (because the position sensor is hard mounted to the body...🙄) MAP...

    No codes, I haven't done fuel filter but all the spark plugs were changed a couple months ago.

    This is my wife's 2014 Ford Escape with the 2.0 Ecoboost in it. I cannot figure out why it is surging while idling and the internet is not giving me information that helps me. The video below shows the issues. I spent this morning pulling the whole throttle body/intake manifold hoping it...

    Is it ok to have a "make light of" thread?

    Did that once in the middle of a welding job on a Friday Night.... Lucky customer got the rest of their rack TIG welded for no extra charge because all I had left was a straight Argon bottle and nobody is open on the weekends.
