i typically practice by actually trying to make things... so making a small gas tank... the new torch, welding positioner and water cooler setup, work awesome..
i already added two 1/4" npt bungs on the bottom, one of each end, gotta add a cap/bung and two bling bungs and done with it... its not perfect, but best i can do at this time... i will polish it.... someone may purchase it and that helps to buy more materials to practice with...

How do you guys get the stubbies out from the rod holder tubes? These are mine.
Very, run-of-the-mill looking...
Lo' and behold! Stubbies can no longer hide from me at the very bottom!

did you fab the tank ends or buy them?

i programmed the ones with letters, or a design in them (using fusion 360)... the dome looking ones in the video, i bought them in misc sizes from sharpe products (i think)...
but these cnc style ends, i programmed/designed in cad and they were cnc'd
i used one of my revolvers to program this and was to scale... these are bolt on end caps and bolt on bullets for them... a friend is building a mini bike to match one of his hot rods and i wanted to add a little bit of me to it...
but i typically program or draw the stuff out in cad and have a person with a cnc, machine the program... i am looking into getting a DIY style cnc or trying to make one... as i am not making money doing this stuff, it is hard to justify spending the money... but im working on it
To follow up on a thread-jack I inserted in this conversation many pages ago (I THINK it was this topic I jacked...)
During a repair to a Miller SW250DX with integrated water cooler, I found the pump is rated for 30PSI at 25GPH, which is right in the range of the potable water pump I salvaged from an RV and was the subject of my question.

i think it would work fine, i would think the flow rate set correctly is the more important thing... on my torch the max rec is 50 psi... i think mine is set to around 45-48psi at this moment and i estimated the flow rate to be about correct for the torch... havent put a meter on it... but im thinking as long as the coolant/water flowing through the torch isnt above the max psi, but is flowing the correct 1 quart per minute, it would work awesome...
Great info, thanks.
Did a specific parts list ever get posted for the brass fittings that were required to deal with the left hand threads? I didn't see it anywhere.
