SLAG that doesn't surprise me i stay away from it .

None of it's good for ya grinding discs probably killed more guys than anything they had a lot of asbestos in them.Sharpening tungsten without a mask is really hard on ya over time welding stainless killed a lot of welder any of the exotics are real hard on the body.A lot of the cancers and poisons get absurd thru the skin as well,welding with a t shirt on and no protection for your arms is dumb. Sorry about the post but my iPad has a mind of its own lol

I got a steel splinter in my eye it had to be drilled out not fun.I was welding at a shipyard along time ago and had a glob of 7018 land on the tongue of my boots which happened to be Kevlar .Anyway there was a spalling reaction burned right into my ankle all I could was dip my foot over the slip to put it out.

Well truthfully I really don't have an answer but my understanding of what Frosty was sayin and I could be wrong was more towards indirect heat not direct.Fingerless gloves and a torch like really ,what do you do for a livin just curious.One thing I don't appreciate is bein called arrogant I don't call folks names on here maybe I come across the wrong way sometimes in replies but I don't name call .I was accused of it once on here but that's another story.Maybe I misunderstood your first post and I hope I'm wrong so I'll leave that there.Just to clear up somethin I was carrying on a little with Frosty cause I like a lot of his info he puts on here and I only carry on with guys I respect.

So how did ya burn your hand was it in a forge cause that's what I thought Frosty was talkin about I mean a house fire or something like that's a little different.

I'm not tryin to be rude I just never heard of it so tomorrow I'm goin to try it to see if the green gas goes away i think I,ll do a vid to show the green gas of gag with vinegar and without.We grind down to bare metal plus a 3 m respirator cause that gas messis up your bloodstream if I'm not mistaken I'll have to google lol

I thaught it was 6011 I hope you had a respirator on that's the first I ever heard of vinegar gettin rid of Galvy usually I grind it down to bare metal before I weld.I,ll have to try it is that regulat strength vinegar or industrial strength lol

What rod did you use,keep practicing it will come put a wire wheel on your grinder it cleans off the flux and puts a bit of a shine on your weld.A little trick of the trade for ya to try.

Thomas i went and did some researchin on propane and flashback arrestors couldn't find me books so i googled lol anyway your 7th grade shop teacher was kinda right but kinda not anyway heres the scoop propane being used on its own does not require arrestors ie bbq tank because of its state and atmosphere.Once its hooked up to a oxy /fuel gas system ie torch regulators they are required because of the chance oxygen can enter the propane tank and cause a pressure spike or introduce a spark.Also there cheap and can save your life and if anybody ever came on a site im working on without them in burn gear you would be run by safety guarenteed or charged by the government inspectors. Anyway im not tryin to be difficult but to me safety comes first in my shop at home or work and if someone don't want to run them on burn gear then you shouldn't be allowed to own it.

I'll have to check our regulations up here but i think mine are and thats whats sold here mostly, mine have been on and off propane and acytelyne for 20 yrs.Now i''l have to check and see if theres a replacement date on them who knows should i check with google the distributor or manufacturer decisions dicisions lol i like'd it better when i was an apprentice 25 yrs ago i could ask the instructor or nearest jm now i got to be responsible.I guess from now on no more off the cuff for me on here its goin to be all by the book on welding answers now i got remember were all my books are.Just out of curiosidy who on here does welding for a livin im talkin high pressure positional tig and stick xray work.

I like it and the grinding wheel should be a good workout.

Mine are stayin on REGARDLESS lol and i can barely remember last week let alone shop class.Also the regs came off my acetlylene set up so why take them off its not hurting anything plus it wont get lost this way.

Wats not needed

Ive been burned many a times over the years and ive got the scars to prove it i was just havin some fun with Frostys terminology and enthusiasim i couldnt resist lol

lol Frosty your tellin us that a glove can heatshrink to a hand before a person can feel the heat thats the first i ever heard of that i 'd have to see it to beleave it.

Wish i could one of those hammers were i live in eastern Canada,nice hammer by.

Nice 58er now my wife wants one when we redo the bathroom lol

Your right about the type t hose for propane but i got 20 yrs out of regular hose before i put a new one on so i don't worry about it plus i got flash suppressors on.I had a hose cut on me once when someone dropped some hot steel on them.I strongly advice flash arresters on the regs up here its law.

What finish is on the wood nice piece by the way.

Here ya go JHCC its just a simple peen but it works great.

Today i made a peening die for my power hammer got a guy wants about 16 ' of 2''x1/2 flat bar peened for his stair rail for his new house so i don't think i want to hand peen that much lol.It works real good and doesn't hurt my wrist so im happy with it and no hammer elbow is always a good thing .

Nice work looks good...

lol

I built mine at #50 and like SoCal says i ease up for lighter blows mine tucks in nice in the corner its got a 5'base and 6' i beam for my truck spring to pivot on .

Whats wrong with stick weldin it Frosty...
