Low Overhead Discount Welding

admin

Today I was "that guy" did a small trade job for a buddy of mine out of the trunk of the car. Diesel is expensive and I only needed a few things. An ex renter backed the Uhaul in to the railing and it needed a fix.

Reply:Nice!  But... you didn't put the adjustable joint back on?  You spoiled the "period" railing and reduced the value of that antique home??!!   tsk tsk.Member, AWSLincoln ProMIG 140Lincoln AC TombstoneCraftsman Lathe 12 x 24 c1935Atlas MFC Horizontal MillCraftsman Commercial Lathe 12 x 36 c1970- - - I'll just keep on keepin' on.

Reply:And now you have photographic evidence that the family car is used for business purposes and those expenses are now deductible as wellBonusWhen any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, "This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know," the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives.

Reply:Kolot, that is a Fibre-Metal pipeliner hood, I just chopped the neck down. It is unbreakable and always works unlike a 300 dollar autodarkener.Disclaimer; "I am just an a$$hole welder, don't take it personally ."

Reply:Did you put up anything to protect passers-by from the arc flash?I want to weld outside, but am always worried about messing up someone as they walked by.
Reply:Looks like a job I did last year, Maxstar 140, a hood and some rod, a little grinding, Done all out of the backseat. Its amazing what these little welders can do for ya, Ive dragged mine through crawl spaces and duct chases, even spent a good bit of time in the walls of a school behind the lockers (not a fun place to be when the light goes out, its basically a 2x200' darker than hell hall with sharp stuff sticking out all over the place and no easy way to thread yourself out without a light.
