A friend gave me some metal shelves. I had a frame with wheels under an ice cream box I used for dog food when I had pointers. I made it to fit two of the shelves. I’ll put expanded metal on the sides and back I think. I need more shelves, getting ready to rehab my work shop. It was built out of pipe I got off remodel jobs, tin came off old fabrication sheds on plumbing jobs. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/dVk0sHbd/IMG-2976.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/TPdhTmDm/IMG-2974.jpg)

If that is half as sturdy as it looks that would make a heck of an ammo shelf! Everything I build in the garage is on wheels anymore.
I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

I don 't miss milling machines--I don't miss lathes--I don't miss surface grinders.
But I'd like to have a TIG welder. I got pretty handy using one back when I was machine shoppin' around.
There's all kinds of tricks one can do with a TIG welder.

. . . But I'd like to have a TIG welder. I got pretty handy using one back when I was machine shoppin' around.
There's all kinds of tricks one can do with a TIG welder. The small amount of time I was allowed to diddle with one didn't do me any good. Maybe if I had one to use and practice with and a pile of scrap . . I've done better with the old ratty crackerbox stick job, or the "new fangled" flux jobs. After trying to use a regular mig outside in a breeze and the gas blowing thisaway and thataway it was enough for me, not to mention trying to get a full bottle while waiting for the welding supply/gun store-type loafers to get done chatting

3 cracker boxes
1 MIG
1 portable welder
2 torch rigs
4 shops between town and the ranch keeps 'em scattered pretty well.
Now, if I could just keep track of what is in which location, or anticipate what was going to be where, when needed?

There's all kinds of tricks one can do with a TIG welder. I've got a bunch of friends who used to TIG weld Cannondale bicycles. Aluminum, titanium... They used a spool gun for the filler, Welding up $5000 plus bikes, using both hands and a foot simultaneously. The place closed about 12 years ago. Most are glad now, the $14-16/hrs they made is just a bad memory. The ones working with me get double that. No certifications required, no burning out their eyes and ears.

From the wording I took it as using a mig set up to run the root and finishing out the cap with a tig too. Unless they were set up with a robotic tig rig, they use a continuous feed of filler from a spool of wire. At any rate, it looks like Hanco enjoys staying busy (thumbs up)

Got it done, built small cart for a friend this afternoon, had shelves left over. I don’t know if I’m up for painting mine. I’m about ready to put new metal on my junkie old workshop ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/8cGT2s5C/IMG-3184.jpg)
