2 hints that might help

Dip the filler rod in the very beginning of the puddle, not towards the middle as seems to be My habit.

With Aluminum just as You dip the filler very slightly raise the torch.

I am not an expert and will not be posting any pictures of My welds, Your eyes may be too sensitive.

Just think what You would learn after an hours talk with John now.

6" here and -4° for a couple of days or two at night..

We need a "like" button and an electronic pint to Nick.

There must be an unspoken of club for unfinished EDM machines, similar to the Quorn cutter grinder. My electric box is done and untested.I need to make the burning head and it's ready to go, going on 7 or 8 years so far.

When a Russian "beauty" says She is in the driveway right now waiting for Me that makes Me afraid to open the curtains. I went and hunkered down in the shop, with the doors tightly locked.She won't pry Me out, the Wife can attest to that.

Over here a local Company advertises a couple of times a year for Maintainence help, after a couple of years with no results I went and asked Someone in the Company about it. They said They had no intention of hiring a local native born mechanic. They only wanted illegal aliens. Pay was decent.

As a hint for All Who grace this forum, I have a dollup of advice to add. It's best not to order bearings by number alone. I work with a Friend Who worked the Customer counter at a Bearing house for years and He agrees with My experience. Some bearings are stock sizes used for customization. A 6202 bearing can have the OD or ID changed to make it a different size and They WILL NOT change the numbers on the bearing. It's best to measure every dimension to see if it agrees with Your expectations.

FIL had a 6 volt tractor battery go bad. I found a place to rebuild it. Took it in and asked if I could watch while They "fixed" it. First They scrubbed the outside and dried it off. Then stuck a pair of leads into adjacent cells and check something. Said it was good, then put a mold around the terminals and hit them with a torch and made them look new again. Put about 5 minutes of charge into it and pronounced it rebuilt. It lasted a couple of more years, for $20.

Has Anyone ever adapted a tubing cutter to take a parting tool?

Ketan, could You send some of Your Minions over here across the pond to teach service to the Companies We have here?

they probably have never lifted the Wife's luggage, could have been used to anchor Noah's Ark.

Same thing happens across the pond. It will miss one time change then make it up some other time. We have to use the phone alarm to be sure.

If You have some of the larger sizes They are excellent for blowing chips out of tapped holes. Silver solder one to the end of a standard grease fitting that has 1/8" pipe thread and it will screw into the end of a blow gun.

Traffic. Working on anything with the Wife, Bless Her heart She means well, bit I have not much hair left and cannot pull Hers. .

Same crooks, different show.

How does One get a Duck to stay still to be milked?

I was told in My apprenticeship that a light brown.on the edge did not hurt, but "They" better not see Me turning the tool bit blue.

They seem to work about as much as an Easy-out, sometimes You win.

We just put a small slit in the cello and that's all, reminded Me to check mine as it's been 5-6 years since I looked at it. I will start putting a date on it.
