how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

Fall semester 1963 all the M.E. majors at Rolla were required to take two lab courses. Welding and machine shop. I learned how to electric arc weld and gas weld. Made 'things' on the lathe, shaper, end mill and drill press.

Those two courses helped me more than I could have imagined at the time.

You can gas weld thin steel. It takes the smallest tip with the regulators set correctly and really thin filler rod.

Welded together many scrap chunks of exhaust pipe to put duals on my '53 Ford w/Desoto hemi.

Pipe came from the trash hopper at the corner filling station. Remember those?

My hands are messed up from stupidly punching things for several years lol

 

[Ethan Hamby]

Broken knuckles way to many times

Welding exhaust pipe isnt fun. I've welded lots of thin steel at school and also my Jeep floors. With a mig

Video is uploading to YouTube by the way lol i didn't get a video of me cutting them to length when I get overly long ones. But anyways. Speed it critical usually. Lol. Of course it's just pine the ms250 they have works just fine when it's sharp. I like using my saws tho because I can get it done way faster

Agreed, but chain saw muffler is thinner. Here is a couple I did.

 

[67L36Driver]

Yup, one would just burn holes in a saw muffler.

One thing that would never work in a million years is an arc welder lol

Don't laugh, I have heat in the shop again!

 

[Ethan Hamby]

To heat my shop(my garage) I think I'm gonna run flex pipe and put a natural gas wall heater in. Seems like the easiest way since I have natural gas already

It's a long video but there are 2 of the 4 or 5 daily jobs I do. The only equipment I don't run there is the knuckle boom. I can run it but they have a dedicated employee for that job.

I welded for 40 some years and very few guys could braze very well,most not at all that went threw the shop.I really only new 2 guys that I thought were really good.Both were in there sixtys when I was in my twenties.Bailing wire makes a real good filler with a torch,also steal coathangers.Eathan that is a good video I was wondering what kind of posts you ran fence posts right.Co you rub longer posts to?And no I am not a good brazer.

yep we run up to 9 foot normally and can run 16s if we set up for it. After they come out of the peeler we bundle them up and treat them. We are actually the only treatment plant for a couple states around lol
