I think this might be a fun place to show the small things that we do that might seem to be unrelated to smoking food at first but in the long run what we do or make can eventually lead to building better things in the future.
I will start by this. I have had a MIG welder that was about 25 years old. It wasn't the best but got me by and I learned a lot from using it. I recently bought a new multi purpose welder that can do MIG, TIG, ARG and spot welding.
I had a 40# mixed gas tank for MIG welding and it is almost empty. It is expired so to refill it I will have to have it re-certified. I just purchased a 60# Argon full tank that can do MIG as well as TIG. I want to teach myself how to TIG weld.
The cart I have the welder on was only made for one welding tank. I spent a few hours today making it setup for two. I cutoff the metal bracket meant for one tank then made a wooden part two hold the tanks. I then used a ratchet strap to make a hold down to keep the tanks in place. This is not major fabrication but I felt good knowing I made it right.
