    Teach me to weld?

    Time to find some steel. (They just gave me a few rods to try for free.)

    Teach me to weld?

    I assume that a quality welding helmet is going to be about $300? I don’t need a $50 piece of junk. I don’t want to buy frivolously, I don’t need fancy paint or pro grade features, but I want to invest in something that does the job, and does it right, the first time, and will keep doing it...

    Teach me to weld?

    Any suggestions on a specific helmet? Local is best, we have a Northern tool nearby, harbor freight and some welding supply places. I’ll start practicing as soon as I have the minimums in hand. I don’t know that a table is a good investment for me right now. I work on my carport and things...

    Teach me to weld?

    I want to be able to build anything. I need to learn to weld. I want a TIG and to weld aluminum. That’s holding me up, because it’s is expensive and difficult. However, I have this little welder my uncle gave me. I haven’t had any interest in welding steal so I have ignored it, but it’s a great...

    Beach cart tire pressure

    My ryobi has a digital gauge on it, so while I would have thought the question was silly before, it now seems sort of reasonable to me. I just go until it is firm, which was about 6-8psi range. I think anything between it doesn't have the proper shape and the pressure is high enough to damage...

    Built the kids powerwheels into a boat.

    No paddles in the middle. Just the rings as supporting structure. If you can't do the rings, at least make the paddle a U.

    Built the kids powerwheels into a boat.

    Get a 4x4 model? I think the easiest way to make steering, would be to add two switches that cut power to the motors individually. So when you want to go left, cut power to the left motor. If you want to turn quickly, make it so you can reverse power to the left motor. I assume that is a peg...

    anti maskers thread?

    While I do think BK has to be the standard and maintain it, the lack of appreciation for the work people's behavior creates for the forum management is disappointing. I can understand why he is venting a bit. There certainly hasn't be an expressed appreciation for why he is frustrated. Taking a...

    anti maskers thread?

    I find this thread strange. I am very logical and literal in my thinking. A bunch of people are talking about this being a jet ski forum. But this is the off-topic sub forum. It exists to make sure non-sense is not in the jet ski sections. But more importantly it is a section that, if used...

    Mud mat help??

    Haven't bought it, but I figured it out... I have a 8' bed. I have the Trail Rzr so it fits in my bed between the fenders and I can almost close the tail gate. I am going to look for a used, or maybe buy a new, rubber truck bed mat. It would be something I could use in the bed of the truck to...

    Freestyle “laws”

    Imagine you take the license plate off your 1970 Camaro and put it on your 2020 Camaro. We know this is not okay, the registration needs to match the VIN. Imagine you cut the VIN out of the frame of a 1970 Camaro and weld it into your 2020 Camaro frame. We all know this is illegal. Yet people...

    Mud mat help??

    Was looking for something that was solid so I can drag it out with the mud on it.

    Other What did you fab up today? A thread for the home fabricators!

    When the post telling you to make a build thread gets more likes than your post, you have to do a build thread. It's a forum rule iirc.

    Mud mat help??

    I did consider a tarp. Worried about sliding. The floor is wood covered with linoleum. A rubber mat that increases traction and catches the dirt would be ideal. Obviously I am using straps.
