Now thats neat as hell..but how do you label the various alloys and whatnot? Btw...I have the same welder out on loan at the moment. Is yours a SquareWave verson? I couldnt make out the lable. Ive used it and its very nice. My main shop welder is the big Airco 300 Squarewave Gunner If they are PVC the easy way would be to grab one of the cheap wood burning kits. Then a set of the number heads they make for them. Let the thing heat up and emboss the number in the cover and tube. Let it cool and fill the embossed groove with nail polish. You could even pick colors to match the alloy/material in the tube to make it a bit faster. IE: white for aluminum, black for steel, yellow for brass, silver for stainless and so on. The print out a chart with the numbers, alloy, amount. Use a laser printer if possible as that print holds up better than an ink jet. Slide the chart into a sheet protector and have fun. -- Steve W.

Gunner -- "First Law of Leftist Debate The more you present a leftist with factual evidence that is counter to his preconceived world view and the more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot, homophobe approaches infinity. This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to the subject." Grey Ghost |
