Still playing with this pluse tig it's pretty cool but, I could see how using it all the time will be a handy cap.

Playing with aluminum is the black soot loss of coverage or diping tungsten

Finaly made the core suport and layed my intercooler pipes and was able to do it just thinking I may try and make the pipes with less boots

Fabbed up some removable flat tops for my pipe stands so I can clamp to them when fixturing stuff, etc. and I can put them back to pipe stands pretty easily. DZ

I finaly decided to try some intercooler pipe. I got some cuts layed out and geting ready to tack it up.the last try looked like burnt or sunken in a few dabs was at 90 amp 3/32 and the 100hz and 45 % I am new at this so my macine starts at 25% and I believe to 80 were should the sweet spot be this China box instructions are impossible like my message

Ripped this 1/8 304 plate with a circular saw I have, not sure if it's the same with any circular saw but it makes short work for sure, no sparks no, no smoke.
Thought it was smart to lay out with my chalk line then spray glue, to keep the line. It work till I had to clean it, oh well it's going straight into the fire box tomorrow anyway 🤪.

Been wanting a cart to store sheets of steel, and also get to with ease. Made it out 2" boiler tube and some 1/8 plate I had laying about. The wheels were also salvaged from the scrape bin, a piece of equipment was beening thrown out so I took the wheels from it.
The tubing was mitercut with the evolution saw "works good but hard to get the round miter cuts lined up for the perfect fit" also hard to get exact length". The sheet was with the slugger circ saw , fresh evolution blade was used since I tortured tested the original with half inch plate bevels. Saw works cool, straight cuts , no dust, no sparks. Chalk line work good to snap lines across the sheet try the blue powder level four.
Welded up the tubing with 6011 3/32 just because a had some. 85 Amp was too hot but did the job , honestly this was a hack job, but I'm happy it's done, it holding a ton of steel I had tucked away and I can easily roll it out now. For what it is it works fine 💪 .

Just finished my tube roller stand build. A fun project!

My buddy wrapped his 76 chevy around something on the road and ask if I could cut off the front end. I said cutting off the front end was no problem, aligning it back was a whole another story. Anyways after I had him pull as much parts out of the way, I was able to square off some lines, then useing an oxy-acetylene torch to chop off the front end. Preped all mating edges and tacked in a used front end from another truck. Frist try we found the door panels rubbed, so we Broke tacs off and trimmed mating end back 3/8 at a tapper a got better fit, er I think, its the first time lining up a car frame so I'm pretty happy with it.
