Tools. I love Tools.

Bought me a Miller Syncrowave 180SD today. I have now increased my home capabilities to include welding aluminum, Titanium, stainless steel, copper and magnesium.

COOL.

COOL.

So if you can't weld Al, Ti, S/S CU or Mg, what can you do with it?

Very cool though! I've only worked with a welder a few times, years ago. but with all the projects I have to complete around here, it sure would come in handy.
Tools Rule!

I was hoping it would help with my spelling.

Vary cool Seth. I worked for many days trying to get some c-clips out of an engine block. I finally got so pissed, the project sat until the next summer. I took it to a friend who said he'd take a look at it. I figured I would drop it off and give him a few days. When he first saw it he said, give me a minute, and proceeded to weld a nut to the clip and had all 6 out in about 15 minutes
Everybody needs a friend or two who know how to weld, especially if they work for beer!

Sweet welder! I had a Lincoln I used for a long time but when the budget got tight I had to sell it. Can't wait to see what kind of work is going to be flowing out of the garage now.

[cali kid]

nice unit, cant beat Miller or Lincoln!

[Seth]

Do you think they'll fight?

Cool!! Don't get that SEAL too close to it..

When I very first started diving for the Navy, I tried to get qualified underwater welder but I was too impatient. I would get about 10 times the length of bead I was supposed to get per rod. Looked great, but wouldn't pass VT/PT so never even got a chance for destructive testing..

Then I realized I could get trained and certified as an underwater VT/PT inspector!! Guy would spend 8 hours welding and I could sit topside getting a sun tan and when he was done, I'd jump in and spend about 10 minutes looking at his work. They were pretty pissed off when I failed their welds, but oh well! I was on a team that flew all over the world welding (and tanning/testing of course). Best gig we had was 8 weeks in Dubai at a 5 star hotel eating 2 inch steaks and drinking beer with stewardesses every night..

Don't worry, Paul. I don't weld with a watch on. Too much magnetism.

The Seal is enjoying a tan topside as well. Its on vacation until I'm informed otherwise.

Cool,so when will my little watchbox be ready

[Seth]

Soon, actually. I am getting some material sheared and notched for some small boxes. I might make 20 of them. I still have to figure out the latch and the hinge....
