Need a tool, make a tool. The welds are less than pretty, but I needed to bang this post driver so I could set some heavy t-posts for the firewood pile. Didn’t want to buy one and this is all scrap material I had in the shop.

I was sent a torch mounted amperage control to try out and review. I published a video on how I set it up and my first attempts at getting comfortable with it. Check the link in my bio for the video.

I tried giving the white vinegar soak another try and see how effective it is for removing mill scale. Wow. It didn’t work this well last time I did. I’m a believer.

Helped a buddy finish up his hydro assist steering setup from @psc_performance_steering. Good thing black paint hides just how bad my welds are. 😉

I used some @bluedemonweld Aluminum Bronze TIG rod to repair the worn splines on this shaft from the power feed clutch on an 80 year old lathe. I have never done something like this before, and I think it went well and came out OK. Check the link my bio for a video.

I made a second version of a welding square.
I made a second version of a welding square. These were drawn up in Fusion 360, exported as DXF files, and then sent to a CNC water jet controller and cut from .250 steel.

Welding squares
Inspired by a product I have seen online and used in other YouTube videos, I set out to make my own welding square. I learned a little Fusion 360 and designed this small 8″ welding square.
