    Maggie’s The Welding and Metalworking Thread

    Knock the flux off of a rod and feed it into your puddle like a tig rod. Works ok sometimes, so does laying a couple of the rods down over the joint and burning through them. Neither will give great results but you aren't going to get great results welding thin rusty steel no matter what you do.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns (Go to) fixed blade

    I agree with you generally, the real point I was making with the chinese STEEL comment is that there are a lot of "USA" made knives that buy steel knowingly or unknowingly from china. I was underwhelmed with Benchmades D2 but when done right it works well. It doesn't hold an edge like Maximet...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns (Go to) fixed blade

    China D2 has given it a bad name, much like a few examples of Elmax. Most of the chinesium "D2" is recycled refrigerators. If you find an Arkansas made Dozier the steel is on a whole other level. I have had Benchmades in D2 and it was far inferior to the dozier.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Need suggestions for working pocket knife

    The Benchmade Proper may be worth a look. A smaller knife with a classic design built with modern materials.

    We ran a few of those for a while, they are better for some things than an abrasive saw, and more jobsite portable than a horizontal bandsaw. They come pretty rough from the factory, i ended up turning new bushings and pivot pins for both of the ones we bought. They will also eat blades like...

    I can't believe you are using bungees to hold up your umbrella. Actually I can't believe you are using an umbrella.

    Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

    Just tried (killed the bottle) Basil Haydens 2x2 rye. I'm not big on blends but this ain't bad. It ain't really cheap either, so the search continues.

    Yeah but this weekend looks great, and Spinner reservoir opened last weekend! I didn't make it yet, but I will take my daughter on Saturday. That is my official start to spring and I don't care what the weather is! Time to rip some lips. Hopefully some trophy pics to come soon.

    Yeah you can lay dual shield down faster and run it in more positions. Sometimes metal core is better depending on the application, it's a lot cleaner process than dual shield so you can save time on coatings prep in a production setup. I used to have machines with hard wire, Ultracore, and...

    Well i did do 15 years as a roadie, and the only good thing about stagehands is you don't have to see them tomorrow. I guess carny interns are about the same?:poop:

    You have so-so helpers? If you want to trade then do I have a deal for you... Seriously hard to find even so-so help in the trades anymore. The old guard is mostly gone and any of the young guys with ambition and a clue are running jobsites now. Yep, I need another double now.

    Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

    Rum isn't really my thing but if you can find a bottle of the El Dorado 25 it is pretty tasty, my mom brought me a bottle back from when she visited Guyana.

    I put it in my cart before I looked at the price. Then I took it out, I'm only 1 for 2 on the rich white guy thing.

    Over the counter bull elk tags are about the only good thing left in CO. I have a hard time predicting my schedule for October and November before April first so i do that and leftover tags most years. I blame the hippies that came here to smoke weed for a living for the rest. Like the bumper...

    What's the most stupid thing you've been told?

    I still have a couple of bricks of russian steel cased .22 that my bothers and i bought for almost nothing when we were kids shooting in 4-h. We bought several cases and my rifle was the only one that would shoot them reliably so i got them all. I think we paid $3-4 a brick when we bought them...

    CSP still runs a work truck with a service bed and a small box truck with scales as well as the vans down here. PITA if you have a trailer.
