I get the same line of questioning.
How many guns do your need?
I don't "need" but two to be honest, but I'll never transmit that info to the blushing bride. In my way of thinking, I "need" a turkey gun, duck gun, a deer rifle, a SD rifle, a long range rifle, a heavy caliber close range rifle, a competition rifle, a rifle for small game, pistols for SD, small game, large game, varmints, competition, and since they are all mechanical by design and can break, I'll need a backup for each.
That's my line of thinking, so obviously we disagree.
Sounds vaguely familiar.
Today after lunch I decided to build me a quench tank for quenching knives. My heat treat oven will be here Monday so it was time to get a tank built. I saw a tank very similar to this offered at a knifemaker supply for $99. I've got lots of scrap 4" sq tubing and a new tig so building instead of buying was a no brainer. It's 18" tall. It should be a 1 gallon quench tank. Atleast that's what the guy selling em claimed. His had a handle on each side which meant you had to use two hands to move it. I made a swinging handle as you can see. This was a fun 2hr project. Even recycled an old hinge.
That looks better than the ones on Forged In Fire.
Great job.
Great job.
And this evening I went out to my leather shop and built a leather sleeve for my tig torch hose. I'm sitting here debating if I want to roll it inside out to hide the stitches. Opinions?
Decided to roll it inside out. That was fun. Ended with a piece of .035 mig wire going in one side of my index finger and out the other. It went in easier than it came out it seemed.
That hurt! That little barb on the top had to be a biatch. My 25’ plasma lead has a leather cover but it snaps on.
I considered snaps as I've seen covers that way. It was faster to sew it rather than set that many snaps. But, it did take longer to install it. If I didn't always try to complicate things, like rollin the seem to the inside, I coulda just sewn the cover with it folded over the hose. It looks nice and clean like this. In my opinion. It's just a 12 1/2 foot rig. A 25', I might rethink doing it like this.
I like your way of thinking. If your gonna make it, Make it right.
