Hi Glenn. It is a little trickier than that:

The file you uploaded was not an acceptable format.: maker.pdf

I need to find someplace on the Internet where I can put this file.

[Glenn]

email it to me.

Hi Glenn. What is the appropriate e-mail address? I could not find it in your profile.

I can cut down or split the presentation so that it can fit.

[Glenn]

ev check your PM

OK, Glenn, got your latest request. Turn the presentation into text, and attach pictures. Following is the text conversion of a slide presentation inline. This was tedious to create, since copy and paste only works on each element individually (heading, bulleted list or text object). Thus, about a dozen copy and paste operations are required to generate a text file. The text file is itself annotated, so the reader will know where to insert page breaks and pictures. There's gotta be a better way to do this.




Homemade Welder

Lots of homemade welder plans on the Internet
Problems: high raw material cost, low performance
Sourcing materials is difficult
Try low power as a start



Microwave Oven Source

Highest value item: transformer with primary/current limiting
Still need diodes, choke
Lots of rewinding required


Limitations

Hard to get enough power
Current-voltage trade-off
Tough to use as a stick welder: either difficult to strike or not enough power
Try using as a TIG welder (no lower power limitations)
