Another great video - thanks Jody!

Love the 'down and dirty' purge box idea.

Built my version of Jody's argon box. I tried to keep it as simple as possible. I had some 1/8" stainless steel 8"x 4 1/2"......used this to make up the sides. Had some 1/4" 316 stainless steel I used for the bottom. I could have used aluminum but opted for stainless as I wanted some weight to this so it would stay put and not move. I used a foot valve because I hate wasting argon. I also used a quick connect......I had both the foot valve and the quick connect on hand. I started by tacking all the pieces together and folding them up (stainless works well this way). Unfortunately 2 of the sides had to be broke off and realigned. I used some stainless steel 1/2" mesh then put stainless steel screen above that. I did use the sintered mufflers like Jody did. Pics next posts.

What are you using for what appears to be quick disconnect points just above the bottles, and below the Y coupling off the regulator?

I like the look of the manifold there and am tempted to do the same in my garage shop area.

I have too many tig welders. To simplify things I have my argon on the stand you see in the picture. What you see that you circled are quick connects to the various machines I have.
