Reply:Just remember Bill, there is nothing wrong with anything as long as you do it in moderation. One can a day on a full stomach just like a vitamin and you should be fine. Now if your getting up at 3a.m. to take a leak and you cant fight the urge to bust out another can before you go back to bed, I would say you took it to far and now your addicted  oh and love the new sticker!

Reply:My tool list is similar to yours. The big difference is with two sons, and their friends, instead of hammers I have more rocks. Once in awhile I find a hammer in a place no one would ever think to look.
Reply:Maybe work on welding the thin bit of the can if you are bored?

Reply:Lightweight... When I was doing final projects in college, we used to measure projects by how many 2 liter soda bottles it took to stay awake multiple days nonstop to get done. Jolt and Mt Dew were always favorites and no self respecting person would drink diet anything. Sort of defeats the purpose of all the sugar and caffeine. And what's up with the baby cans.....No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth! Ronald Reagan

Reply:Ok, I did this one this morning with 5356 and a 3/32 sharp red tungsten with Advanced Sq. Wave, 75 Bal. and 100 HZ.As you can see I had a tough time getting the weld to wet out and look smooth.....Gotta think it was the larger tungsten and advanced  Sq. Wave..Going to try Sine Wave and the smaller tungsten tomorrow....All the different set ups work just some better than others. I have time between jobs I might as well learn more about this Dynasty machine Im sure it will come in handy sooner or later.....  Miller Dynasty 350Twenty Six HammersThree Crow BarsBig Rock

Reply:Surface prep is everything on these cans, you can drink a beer or soda and just lay it down and weld it with no prep but the results will be incredibly different........  Miller Dynasty 350Twenty Six HammersThree Crow BarsBig Rock

Reply:are these full cans of soda that you give to customers as promotional items?
