1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

I do the same rotation. I put a LOT of miles on my broke feet every day.

These are supposedly thicker than most socks, and you can see the left big toe hole in the right hand sock. Rotation lol

 

The ol’ hobo toe

 

Goodbye ole friend.

 

Why?

 

I'm getting more and more jelly of those electric chainsaws.

 

Injinji toe socks. They're the only socks I wear anymore.

 

I bought the smallest DeWalt chainsaw they make and it works well.

 

My fuel bubble broke on my homelite yesterday, and i'm out of spares.

 

Well... that would solve my tailgate issues... but it's in Massachusetts....

 

Alternator, serp belt, and t-stat (housing has to come off) ordered for replacement on the Lexus this week hopefully. Was hoping to get an alternator locally but the major price difference between napa and rockauto made rockauto really make sense. Just have to deal with shipping the core back. Haven't done that with RA before.

 

Oh yay me. Airbag light just popped on again. Haven’t even thought about reconnecting the scangauge. Ain’t that a peach.

 

i ordered ~$5000 in mr2 parts.... im going to be broke from these cars LOL

Could just be a squib code.

 

Ya think crackie would look weird with a flat bed?


This one is 7 foot long though

 

Are you kidding me?

 

to be fair, those are some quality looking sticks. I wouldn’t even know where to find such items otherwise. Oh wait, maybe in the woods. For free.

At that rate i had about $2k in this burn.

still havent cracked the rock i'm burning in.

 

Tundra Express it on down. One truck at a time.

 

For crafty city folk who don't drive & don't know where the woods are.
Does Uber offer pickup trucks? LOL

 

"40 or so"...like the seller can't count that high?

 

I like the fact he doesn't even state what type of wood he cut.

I will agree you can buy a birch branch/trunk on Michael's website for $19.99/each.

 

Bought this little 110/220 Volt stick welder today for $50. Only thing wrong with it is the ground clamp was missing the clamp. Easy fix. Here's an Amazon link to this welder.

Here goes some pics.




Stinger didn't look too bad.



Missing clamp.


110 Adapter


Repair of the clamp.





Tyler, and I soldered this on as well as put some loctite on that lug. Don't really know if soldering was a good idea as I didn't think about the amperage. Thoughts? Do I need to re-do this?



Heat shrink for a professional look.




Magnet activity. Also loctite here...




Kinda regret not going with a bigger Magnet. May remove the solder anyways, but I'd love to learn if that's a bad idea, and why.

It works on 110/220 as advertised.


Video uploading right now. We had the POS/NEG reversed, and didn't realize it until after the video. We aren't that well versed in stick welding...

 

Power(watts)= I^2*R, where I=15 amps max * resistance of the wire. I^2=225.

The resistance can be looked up based on wire gauge, number of stands, & wire material. I can’t recall offhand how to convert power to heat, but there’s a formula for it.

Besides, when was the last time you burnt your hand holding the insulated ground wire? Solder melts around 325F.

 

My main mental concern with it was that I basically made it all one wire right there at the lug. If memory serves, amps carry through the "skin" of the wire. So I just made a bottle neck?

Also, I've never seen any other welding clamps soldered...

@Jack McCarthy I guess I should have just Google the shit instead of looking like a dilbert. Oh well.
