    @dragos28 has plenty of imagination, creativity, and $$ to explore those two things. Haha. And lots of bloopers along the way

    you're right on most points, all but the $$, i do everything on a budget. i almost never pay full price, i'll haggle and search for good deals.

    :D

    We sell a lot of automated welding machines to Newport News Shipbuilding. They have thousands of Lincoln S500's that our GMAW machines plug into using ARCLINK controls. Super nice welding supplies. But you're right all of our GTAW machines use Millers.

    This thing is tits! Just a few twigs and the temperature is incredible. It generates electricity from the heat so you can charge a phone but the cool part is that it has a fan that makes the fire even hotter.

    With a cast iron pot it's gold.

    As a BBQ grill.
    Sucks.

    The grill doesn't have enough heat. Maybe if I swap it out for a cast iron grill.

    Been a while since I've been on here.

    My dad bought a maze smoker but said it felt really cheap and small. So I decided to make him one.

    I picked up a 4'*5' 3/16" perforated plate. Only cost $110.

    Did all the cuts with a hand grinder

    fuking hell.

    so i just got off the phone for the 3rd time with PG&E about getting a new power service to my property.
    SO i already have power in back, theres a transformer that is shared with the neighbor. the neighbor is getting a 400 amp service, i'm getting about 140amp. if that.
    the old house thats on my property was once up front, and there is another transformer that provided power to that house.
    but since the old house was moved back, they cut that power source.

    I called pg&e and said, hey i would like an over head service dropped into my yard, i'll provide the pole, the panel, you guys just run the power lines from the transformer down, and i want 400 amp service.
    seems simple enough right.

    NOOOOOOOO... its like talking to the fking govt.
    they need me to itemize all of the devices that i will ever have and how much power they will draw. that will then go to their engineering board which will take about 6-7 weeks and then they can determine how much power then can give me.

    its like talking to a GD democrat. soo fukin stupid.
    i even told the dude, this is the most complicated and inefficient process ive ever heard of.
    they also want building permits for the house and the well.

    well, how am i supposed to get you all that, i dont have power to build a house or a well....

    ugh. i mean i do have power, but i want to have a new service separate from the neighbors. but damn, this is just stupid and ridiculous.
