Hey thanks!!!!
I'm in LaGrange Park.
I have been welding for about 6 years now....not professionally or nothing like that, but I took a class a couple years ago.
Not always purdy, but they hold. LOL. I've gotten rid of mostly all my equipment a few months ago (plasma cutter, miller xmt 304 stick-tig)....wish I still had that stuff!!!!
As far as regulating air, I've read that a 4" is too big, and 2" is too small, so I figured the 3 or 3 1/2.. should do it just right.
I've still yet to make the oil tank, or at least come up with something....so I've been just burning some wood inside it to burn out the paint off of it.
Throwing a few glugs of oil down the tube made it burn like a mother...so hopefully when it's all said and done, with minimal tuning, should work pretty good.
I am kinda worried about having it in the garage, code, insurance, etc.....But, I guess what they dont know, wont hurt them.....as long as the garage doesnt burn down I'm okay right!!!!
Still need to get flue pipe too......I've been laid off work since August, and money's kinda tight, so it might be a while til this thing makes some real WVO Heat!!
Maybe we can get together for a beer one day??!!
