    Learning to TIG with a multi-process machine....

    Definitely a little hot but not by much. Could even be that your tungsten was just slightly too far away. Just make sure the metal is crazy clean, and try and keep the tip of your filler within your gas flow and it will keep the red hot edge from corrupting and graying out your weld.

    cutting the cord and dumping satellite / cable TV -- who here has done it, and how?

    I'm with you on that. We tried the cheap hulu subscription once for like 5 minutes and all I felt was intense anger the first 2 commercials that I stopped what we were watching and went and upgraded our sub so I didn't have to see it.

    For Sale TJ "Trunk" lock box

    I've got an old TJ lock box that fits and screw into the "trunk area." I don't daily drive my Jeep anymore and have a garage to store my tools so I have no more need for it. Has some rust stains on the top from a hammer I left there over several rain storms. But otherwise in the same condition...

    Coronavirus

    About a year and a half ago in February. I caught it right before it became the popular thing for everyone to do. Technically I don't have "proof" because it was before they were doing testing, but it was probably the most sick I've ever been, all the right symptoms were there, and it spread...

    Coronavirus

    Currently getting over my second bout of Covid. Wife brought it home from work where she caught it from somebody that is vaccinated. Kind of pissed me off because this vaccinated person was not required to do any kind of "quarantine" after their spouse got sick and so brought it into work and...

    New Cordless Tools

    Agreed... when we moved into our new house and I was ready to buy some power tools I went to my accountant/wife who gave me the "buy once cry once" permission on one condition.... she got to pick the color. After I explained that Makita, Milwaukee, and Dewalt are roughly on the same level for...

    Source in Utah County for rod ends, spacers, tabs, etc?

    You could talk to Summit Machine in Draper, still to the north but much less of a trek than midnight. I don't know if they stalk everything though.

    I've heard there were big spiders...

    Now you've crossed a line. Spiders are cool and all, but no. I'm pretty sure there's a commandment somewhere about them not being allowed to touch you!

    Work Boots

    My biggest problem is the safety toe. My toes are really wide compared to the rest of my foot so I have to buy wide boots to get the safety toe wide enough to not rub my toes raw, the Justin's I bought wide and still squeezed my toes so bad I felt like I was slowly breaking them. Agreed on...

    Coronavirus

    Is that recent? I tried to check their website but it didn't say anything. I'm over at Mountainland Applied Technology College and they have been very clear that they will not require it of anybody.

    Coronavirus

    Masks or Vaccination. Sorry I didn't state both before. I know all the big ones are requiring Vaccination to attend classes. UVU is definitely being much more lenient though compared to the others, they are my schools partner university.

    Coronavirus

    I've escaped this so far surprisingly enough. I work for a Technical College that is state funded but we haven't been forced into anything yet, and we're one of the only colleges in the state that does not require masks. It's very conservatively ran so I think it would take a lot to force...

    Work Boots

    I've never had a problem with it. You just have to find the right size. In pull on boots which I have 3 different pairs, I wear a different size in each. I also purposefully buy them just a hair too small and then get them soaked and wear them around for a couple hours sipping wet. It's horribly...

    Work Boots

    Depending on if you prefer lace up vs pull on I fell in love with the Ariat Workhog with the mesh breather on the calf. Due to the welding aspect I switched from lace up because I kept burning through them. Along with that I developed some athletes foot that was impossible to get around when my...

    Topic of Discussion Auto Glass Replacement.

    Well we had an oopsie and neglected to tie down a big water tank correctly in rough terrain going downhill... Any preferences for rear truck window replacement? Safelites website is quoting me $390 and I'm hoping to find somewhere that might be able to get it cheaper.
