I usually cut mine down as well. As previously stated, when working in close quarters often there just isnt room for three feet of wire. Even if I'm on the bench I tend to smack my hood with the...

I always forget to take "in progress" photos too. I was really hoping to see some.

I just wanted to give a shoutout for these folks at stainlessheadersinc. I just ordered a set of CUSTOM headers from them and I mean really custom. I sent them our mock-ups and the work they sent...

I'm glad to see you are finally getting to experiment with helium, Jake. I know you have been itching to try it for a while. A few months ago at my old shop, they ordered up two huge bottles of...

Dude, I love that chocolate mint gum. It doesn't seem like ice cream would make a good chewing gum flavor but I'll never go back to traditional chewing gum!!!

Nice work on the tripod too.

I have a 205 and it is a good machine. Runs very smooth. You should know that the 205 is designed to accept only full size rolls of wire. This was something I didn't know about until I got mine. ...

anybody ever tried the metabo flap wheels? I had to visit a plumbing supplier for some parts for the air system at the shop and they had a fresh new display of metabo grinders and abrasives. I...

Through my own personal research over the past couple of years my findings would force me to concur with mark. Different Mfg's seem to have their own definition of what "advanced" squarewave control...

Man! I cannot explain how refreshing it is to see a young man like yourself doing something like this. Good work. I second what jester said. You are getting started at the right time, too. Try...

You might want to look into one of the MTS units, man. I have seen one of these over at Mark's place but never did get a chance to weld with it. I also own multiple everlast products and overall...

If you are in good with the people at your local harbor freight they have a nice looking binzel tig torch that comes with one of their higher end welders. It's the inverter model and the torch does...

Sounds like the same problem, man. I can't think of any electrical issue what would be likely to do that. Were you outside? Sounds like your tungsten was contaminated, then you layed on the pedal...

I'm in Savannah, just a couple of hours from Mark, it;s hanging pretty heavy here too.

One of my mentors told me once, and I will never forget it. He said "B, everybody f*cks up. A great mechanic can fix his own f*ckups.

Hi. I am an ASE Master Tech/L1 Diagnostic Specialist. I have been working with cars for a long time and I have some technical knowledge others may not. Yes, it is a good idea to disconnect the...

At my shop we have a precision tig 275 that I use everyday. The tungsten I use in it most of the time is probably the diameter in question. I have not mic'd it, but I was curious today and I held...
