That's why I always carry at least my leather man and usually another knife or two or three. Pliers, screwdriver, scissor, knife-everyone is always surprised or impressed or glad I have it. Especially at schoolOtto Nobedder wrote:The Boy Scout's motto. Be Prepared.
The horn repairman's motto. Beep Repaired. (That appeared as a cartoon in Boy's Life Magazine about 1976.)

LOL never stops does it. So Oscar how many TIG tubes you up to now and what alloys you stocking. I haven't added any in a long time. Unfortunately due to some physical health issues haven't been doing much lately.Oscar wrote:
Yeap, thread revival. I spend most of the day yesterday making more PVC tubes for my tig rods....so far, it's not looking good. BUT, I do need to run to Lowes and pick up more stuff, lol. All stuff I've been collecting since 2009.
why use standard nozzles after gas lens where invented. Kinda of like starting fires by rubbing sticks together.

Good on ya. I sometimes get grief when we have to pack around a tool bag I keep in our road-trip vehicle. But somehow I never get grief when I use the tools to fix something.

I think it's close to 20, but I haven't finished yet. Mild steel 70S2/80SD2, 308/309/312/316/347 stainless, aluminum 4043/4943/5356, silicon bronze, Super Missile Weld, Inconel 625, Hastelloy W/X, Titanium Grade 5/23. Why I have this stuff, well...I have no answer, lol.dirtmidget33 wrote:LOL never stops does it. So Oscar how many TIG tubes you up to now and what alloys you stocking.

I counted my tubes yesterday....28.... ......still have to make more for my aluminum rods since they don't fit in the smaller 1-1/2" PVC, not even in 2" PVC. Had to buy 3" sch40 PVC, LOL. Damn low density aluminum.
With that tig button that I just got, I am definitely getting the itch to revive some projects on the back-burner. Work is killer though, so it's gonna be a tough time to balance it. But at least I have 2.5 months off for summer.

Gosh Oscar...I've heard of prepping before but I thought it was about survival, not welding
