Thread: I Found It Over There

I have seen those in videos before. I can weld and braze with both gas and electric. At this point I am choosing not to. I have a limit to the amount of "stuff" that I am allowed to keep in the yard. I wish I had a large plot of land and a big barn to hide my treasures behind, but space is limited and I have to share it with my wife, so I have concessions. I am with you though, the principles are simple, and inventing is a lot of fun. I think maybe I might want to come over and play with your toys some time.

I don't have massive amounts of space, But I do have my own shed, It's only 12x8 but it's dry, has lights and power, And plenty of space provided the motorbikes go in the garden. The bikes aren't a problem though as one is hers

A welder is an essential item for me, I toyed with Mig's but found them to be needy in parts and upkeep. An MMA is probably the most versatile tool you can have if you know how to manipulate it, And the worst thing that can happen to them is the rods get damp and you have to buy more... Not like the Mig, The one I had just wouldn't store well. I'd have to get a new spool if it got left standing for a few months, The gas would die at the most inopportune times, and the one time you had something critical to weld the liner or tips would mess up. I would have a gas kit in a heartbeat, but bottles of gas get far too expensive when your only using enough to need small ones.

The sorting of rocks is firmly on hold for me as well. I've got her bike stripped, And it having a full respray, rebuild, and a lot of new parts. As well as a full electrics overhaul. Should be nice when it's done. Then I can get back to the CF. I have plans to adjust my own tools over summer in regards to cutting rocks, And I think I may well end up looking at some form of power hacksaw to reduce some of the facing time. How exactly I go about the construction will depend on what I have to hand at the time, I can't see a rotary cutting system that can compete for depth other than building my own wet saw using 12" cutting blades on a home made table. And I can't see that option been safe.
