DIY Water Jet Cut Welding Square


Mini Square

Inspired by a product I have seen online and used in other YouTube videos, I set out to make my own welding square. I learned a little Fusion 360 and designed this small 8″ welding square. I was fortunate enough to have this cut out on a water jet at a local maker space. Used the Primeweld TIG 225x to weld it up.

The cops don’t want you to know about this welding trick


When I got my Primeweld TIG 225X, it came with both a foot pedal and a finger trigger. I had always used the foot pedal up until recently. I was working on a project and wanted to place a few tacks, but found it awkward to reach the foot pedal from where I was. I decided to install the finger trigger on the torch and give it a try. I also try to explain 2T vs 4T and how the affected controls on the machine are used.

But don’t tell the cops! 😉

TIG Welding Cabinet Door Frames


I’ve been working on this cabinet for our powder room for some time. It’s just a pet project. I wanted to make something that was a mixture of steel and wood. I have the frame built, but have been putting off making the doors for a while because of other projects. Finally made some time to get the door frames made.

Ford F150 Midland GMRS Radio Install

CB Radio Sucks.

It’s why I made the switch years ago to GMRS for Jeep to Jeep communication on the trail. I wanted to have a radio in my truck for when we are caravanning to an out of town trail. Since I trailer my Jeep, I didn’t want to have to swap the radio back and forth, or be limited to a handheld. Midland USA sent me their MXT275 MicoMobile Two-Way radio to install. This might be a little unconventional, sort of a hybrid between a permanent and temporary installation.
