Free - 7 issues "Machinist's Workshop" (June/July 2009 thru June/July
2010). MW is a lower level than Home Shop Machinist. I.e., it assumes
the reader is a lot less skilled.

Plus shipping (3 lbs Media Mail from 01741). Or any other USPS mode
that you want to pay for G.

Bob, I'd love to get those. Still available?

Thanks!

I spent an enjoyable morning with an ex-Wreck.Metalhead, Glenn Neff. I
bought that 3,000# winch from HF last week and found scraps to piece
together for the receiver holder today. Glenn had some pieces of 1/4"
stainless sheet and his plasma cutter went through it like butter
after I laid it out with a sharpie. Dayam, those things are nice.

He ground off the plasma swarf while I drilled and deburred the
mounting holes, drilled the hole for the retaining pin, and we mig
welded it onto the scrap piece of receiver tubing (after removing the
stud which had been welded onto it.)

Did you use stainless filler wire, or ordinary steel? What gas?
