Diarrhea has never been popular and as you can see it only scored one star.
The DIYAREA with the "Flow Alarm" scored 4 stars! Probably for its "early warning" system...

I’ve been using a lot of that 12gauge unistrut from Lowe’s. 10’ for $22 isn’t too bad. Since it’s already got holes punched in, you could drill holes in the pan and bolt it together for alignment etc and then take it out and weld in your permanent stuff later. I used in on the trailer and even the side yard gate with fiberglass roof panels sliding into the channel..Good morning Mossberg Owners.
This morning I am trying to get my rear fenders re-mounted and as I look at the clock it is already late afternoon. They are nowhere close to aligned and mounted. At this point I have to straighten out the crossmembers and sub framing on the car before I can get anything else aligned. That’s going to mean that I put some temporary framing into this machine and then take it out
@John A. There’s a famous company that makes wood blanks for all sorts of old cars, and I think I can purchase one for this without having to make it myself. But it costs a fortune if you want really nice wood.
Anyhow I’ve got the tools to do it myself if I decide to but that’s a project for the far-flung future.
Fire that sucker up! I’m ready…lolView attachment 25905
I thought about getting a TIG, but as I’m sure I whined about before, without a nice big bench and a garage, I needed to be able to weld outside,quite a distance from a suitable power supply. I’ve welded brackets here and there around the house while standing on a ladder, which I just don’t see with a TIG rig. Being able to plunk the box down and build a trailer or something all the way around myself in the driveway is more important than a sweet bead around a pop can.lol I do have more splatter to clean because I don’t use any gas, but I’m not doing production welds on high tolerance parts, just burning stuff together. I’d still rather gas weld stuff for looks if perfect alignment and fit aren’t in the cards..I personally like the purple,gold and blue HAZ on metal. Like old motorcycle exhaust pipes..I built these headers for a neighbor kids Izusu off-road truck because he needed 18” primary tubes that would fit between the alternator and the steering shaft,and gas welding was the only way to get in there..I just love the fact that you don’t have to strike an arc with this thing.
You just get it close and step on the pedal and the arc happens. If you want to tack, you jab the pedal hard and it gives you a hot shot.
Then you back off on the pedal and weld without having to turn your amps down. If you come to a corner etc you can hit the pedal harder for more heat or less or let it up so the metal cools.
With high frequency pulse welding you can do some amazing stuff with thin metal. I got a car made out of thin metal. Well three of them actually… I think I’m really gonna like this.
