If you’re worried about using wire to make a jumper, then go to an industrial electric parts house and get a jumper, they are quite common.

But on the wire, I presume you’d affix the proper size terminal to the ends of the wires before you install your makeshift jumper on the screw...

I like that machine too. A friend of mine got one, we plugged it in and it immediately let the smoke out. But his second one was worked perfect.

20 words or less.

Oh man, I’m terrible at that.

[ryanjones2150]

Cool man, let me know how it turns out.

1/2” is the plan and I am going to plagiarize the living daylights out of your CAD drawing. Thanks for that!

[ryanjones2150]

You’re right, OGD.

Chris, I have drilled and tapped partially in both before and you’re right, it could walk into the softer material. Somehow, I managed to keep it inline as far as I could tell, but that job was a set screw, so the location wasn’t that critical. I have welded cast...

Zero input except.....if you find one for a good price, let me know so I can buy it before you do.....

[ryanjones2150]

Monu, if you ask a generic question you’ll get a generic answer. If you can be more specific, you will get more specific help. For example, are you mig welding or tig welding? What is the material you want to join? And include anything specific about the end product, like if the item will be under...

Because you couldn’t make it as professional, maybe nobody would hire you, maybe you couldn’t pass the test....just be proud of whatever it is you’re good at. That’s all.

I know, it’s hard to believe that Franz doesn’t know something because he knows it all, but redwings are not hecho in Mexico. Their website breaks down there boot model manufacturing as of May 2018 as such:

Made in USA – 25.8%
Made in the USA with Imported Materials – 18.7%...

Don’t be jealous volley.

[ryanjones2150]

Ya sure, that totally sounds like a time saver. Make a mold out of clay....probably at least 30 seconds for Franz, a week for everyone else. Fire off some thermite on the side of your engine block....what could possibly go wrong? I mean, thermite only melts rail road tracks together. Considering you...

[ryanjones2150]

I agree, redwings all the way. I put off buying a pair for a long time, then I bought their cheapest pair, best boots ever. That was a long time ago. I just went back and got a new pair and sent my old pair out for resole.

Invest in yourself. Do not go cheap on your foot gear or your hood....

And we starting to get sort of close-ish to the shipping lanes, a couple more hours and we would’ve called a mayday. First thing the CG does is usually fly a plane over your location. That takes about 30-45 minutes, then a cutter will show up. If you’re too far out, like around 90 miles, they may...

Brother, you drive a hard bargain! And I agree, I think shiner bock is the absolute best beer for this task. Not 6010, not 7018, shiner bock my friends.

I love hot dogs, and welding. I might have to check them out too. Wish they had bratwurst too, I love me a good brat.

For hot dogs tack, I would’ve set them over a steam bath, just put them in it. The hot water will make those dogs plump up and then toss them on the grill or a hot pan...

I’m on the side of the older transformer machines and I have inverters as well. You can find modern era transformer machines that will fit your needs. Maybe the transformer style MM211. I put a good bit of wire through one at a machinist friend of mine’s shop, and I think it probably has one of...

I’ve gone down this road, it was a complete waste of time and money. My trip was with Longevity welders. By the end of it, I was so pissed off, they offered to give me $300 of “credit” to buy whatever I wanted from their list of online junk, and I told them I wouldn’t take anything they were...

Oli, her name is Helga, and she is the frickin Viking queen goddess of melted metal. Your Norseman heritage and all....you owe her your allegiance.
