I have a nice Dagger deep throat shrinker/ stretcher I can bring. My HF english wheel is not worth bringing.

What should I bring?

Does anyone have an English wheel they can bring?

Even the Harbor freight one is much better than nothing...and I mean that in the nicest way possible.

It's starting to look like I will bring my trailer......If i do, I will bring my Ewheel. And a bunch of other stuff......
What about metal? Anyone have some pieces they can bring. I will get some stuff out of my scrap barrel and from behind the shear, but it's all pretty small stuff.......
I will plan on doing two demos.......one on the proper use of aviation snips, and the other on using the cutting torch.

No 220vac there, we ran my generator last year. hmmm there is an instruction book that should tell you what they do, but it is easier when someone shows what effect it has on the weld!!!! Have fun! I'm missing out.... my back went out last nite, haven't slept but 10-20 minutes at a time. tt

i may be able to borrow a generator if no one minds the noise.

i got the welder used so i didnt get the book with it. i am using it some but really dont know what i am doing.

my back just got all screwed up tonite. it dosent seem to matter if i stand sit or lay down. i think i may have twisted it today working under a dash doing wiring.

Kenny, most of the welding manufacturers have operating/owners manuals on line, the welder I brought was a suit case 185 Thermodyne, had to run a fan to stabilize the generator output. it's a small cheap generator, no strain on it welding 19ga. tt
