I got the chiller and got all of my TIG torches assembled so I can quick change between them...
I've actually been pretty busy between building a fuel injection system for the Diamond T, redoing the cooling system to remove some Chinese on the Lincoln Continental and arguing on the internet with my pretend friends I haven't had much time to actually try this welder out...

All of our Admin Assistants in Saudi were Filipino. Great, great people.
Son and daughter were up at the ranch helping my folks, one thing they did was put a new beam and re-roof an old machine shed, it was chock full of old steel bits ranging from horse tack and turn of the century electric motor up to an old flathead V8.
Anyways he found this thing in a rusty tin tucked into a little leather sheath.
It looks very old, anyone have any knowledge?

Old school tire pressure gauge? That’s cool
I went looking for the local name on the guage, it’s over a hundred years old! Wow

That was really good
He brought up a ton of points that could spin off into many good conversations.
I’ve been watching quite a few Wray Schelin videos on bodywork lately, and he’s pretty staunch on the use of TIG for all sheetmetal patch panel work. While MIG is absolutely doable, TIG is a lot cleaner, and exhibits the complete fusion without the pinholes the MIG is notorious for.
And even after that, I still pulled out the little MIG, installed some 0.025” wire and filled a ton of holes along the fender seam lines over the last couple days because I figured it would be a lot faster (even chasing out pinholes, which it was), and it’s not a visible area. When the new patch panels get made and installed, those will be TIGed out and used for practice with a shrink disc to get a feel for that whole process.

If you’re not familiar with Wray Schelin
So here is a question, on a rusty panel is it even feasible to TIG?That was really good

Sometimes there is no such thing as clean metal under there.
I guess the answer may be to cut it back even further, and perhaps that is why I hate doing rust repair on sheet metal…

My body guy keeps cutting back until he gets to pretty much 100% intact metal. He is making all kinds of body parts as he goes along.

Bring it...
Nobody has called me names or blocked me in like 27.5 hours...
I also watch Wray, he is a crafty old guy that has a lot of practical advice I really like he's about getting the job done reasonably low buck by making the tools or using inexpensive versions of a tool.
Another quality guy that is super talented.
