His replacement is considerable smaller put welds as well as the old boy did back in the day.
It was the last one on the shelf at HF and it was on sale for $169

I've seen some good reviews on Yutube about those cheap boxes. :thumbsup:

Yeah, HF doesn't only sell junk lol, I watched a number of reviews by welders and they all gave it :thumbsup:
It's by far my biggest HF purchase, I pretty much only by poly/painters tarps and angle grinders. I got tired of burning up $80-100 peanut grinders from dust and grit, it's cheaper to just have a couple $12 HF's on hand.
I'll be done when I'm finished, if that's not fast enough, take a number.

Out again. We have a big family gathering with my wife's cousins and Thier families at the beach where her Grandfather proposed to her Grandmother.
We don't often stay in caravan parks. The sites are a little cramped so we had to adjust the setup. Only one side awning out and the gazebo 90deg to normal covering most of the drop to get a little over the galley.

But the view is so worth it.

After this work week it was a JD and water followed by a Pendleton with whiskey rocks. :D

Well, damn. Thanks for letting me know. In the back of every writer's noggin, there's a voice questioning what you're putting on paper and will it be any good?

I've got a few other titles floating around the Amazon jungle. They too get good reviews.

Thanks again, :thumbsup:

Tony

Shelly and I read it too, while on our trip East. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

It filled a few rainy (and not so rainy) nights. I'll write an Amazon review as soon as we get settled after traveling 11 days.

I sprayed some polyacrylic clear finish today. It's always good when your mask matches your sprayer. :lol:

Color coordination is always important.

Bruce:

I don't know if it was you or someone else here that gave me that tip--spraying polyacrylic. But it sure works. I usually do it over oil-based poly (to give the wood a golden tone) and then a couple of spray on water-based coats.

I'll have to get a mask that coordinates with my HF gun too.

:frightened:
