-the
other photo is why I decided to spend my money on a welder, rather than on a
welder. Tom does very nice work. His welding hood has magnifying
lens and he welds barehanded. Well, that impresses me at
least.
Looks a little
better than mine, but so far mine hasn't broken
:-)
Was this TIG
welded? How does he keep his hand from getting that arc induced
sunburn? Man, I played with my TIG welder for about 15 minutes when I
first got it. I read all the warnings and such, and figured they only
applied to people who did this hours a day. The only thing I took
seriously was the eye protection. Of course I was in short pants, kneeling
on the floor. Afterwards, I had the worst "sunburn" of my
life. Lasted for about 2
weeks. I
just welded an electric flap limit switch bracket a few minutes ago. It
was a tiny job, but I put on the leather coat, gloves, helmet, lead cup
<g>, etc. Lesson learned.
Cheers,
Rusty
PS- Tracy will catch up eventually.
Auto tune will temporarily delay him, but when everyone has it, he should have
more free time :-)
