It was the Nurse's recommendation to apply (cyanoacrylate) to my wound. Reminded me about the movie :What About Mary... "its a bleeder"! Ha! I said what? She responded "its just Crazy Glue". I said I know but... she said "shut up and do it or your going to the ER"... ER holy crap? Not me...its just a flesh wound. The Nurse said its not a just a flesh wound... its serious because its been bleeding for seven minutes. I responded soooooooo. She said "you're such a typical male".. I responded with yep! I laughed. I actually know how to install sutures...Ive done it in an emergency situation. Butterfly sutures to be exact. The ER Surgeon was impressed with my sewing capabilities. "He said he would have lost the leg". I responded "Singer would be proud". Ok! Crazy Glue it is. Made my eyes water. The glue not the Nurse! It's hot... The Nurse not the glue. The Red Head is still upset with me! Why me? |

I see you have the same MIG welder as I do. Do you ever feel the need for a TIG? I certainly could use one.
Wow :o :wttc: This'll be a fun one to watch. And Eric I will be calling you. Floor contd. Damn cool welding helmet if you ask me! |

Wow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) This'll be a fun one to watch. And Eric I will be calling you. Floor contd. Damn cool welding helmet if you ask me! I love my Miller 180. It performs very well. No complaints. I always have a need to TIG. I let my friend handle the TIG for me. He is better than I and his welds look like liquid art. For the cost of a six pack it doesnt pay for me to purcahse a TIG unit. Funny part is we did a test. I welded 35 gauage sheet steel with a MIG by using a really long ground cable. My welds came out better than his. The TIG could not be turned down enough and the bead was to proud. Everything has limitations. We then turned to sheet aluminum. I gas welded mine and we did a distruction test which passed. The bead looked more like a blend with gas. The TIG was a work of art on thin aluminum sheet. Nothing compares. I always have a need to TIG. BTW: I started a bathroom remodel so I stepped back from the 14 for a bit. |

You had me worried there for a sec. I thought maybe you had to sell the project.
