Re: [MBZ] OT welding class

I took a welding class at the Steel Yard in Providence. Dwight came and took my friend and I to lunch. -Curt On Wednesday, January 12, 2022, 09:47:36 PM EST, Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes wrote: You took a welding class with Dwight? Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 12, 2022, at 9:43

Re: [MBZ] OT welding class

I’m teaching myself to tig weld. But to be fair, I’ve watched hundreds of hours of YouTube videos on the matter. So far I’ve succeeded in tig butt welding 20 gauge steel. Haven’t put more than a few hours of bench time into yet- those YouTube videos proved to be invaluable. Sent from my iPhone

Wow when I saw the first photo I thought "are they really running that with no air filter at all?!?" and then I saw that it does at least have some sort of filter on the hot-air intake. On Wed, Jan 12, 2022, at 10:59 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: >

Re: [MBZ] OT welding class

Welding is one of those things where a hands-on class advances your skills so much faster than trying to learn by yourself. The two best classes I ever took were my welding class (which was also the first time I met Dwight) and my motorcycle safety class. -Curt On Wednesday, January 12,

Second on the motorcycle safety class. Time well spent and learned a LOT despite already been riding for decades before I took it. Dwight did not take me to lunch but we did go to Cracker Barrel one day. Yuck. 冷 -D From: Mercedes on behalf of Curt Raymond via

You really can't generalize based on one photo. There aren't many places you can go these days that don't require a mask. I keep mine in each car always to have one handy. On Wed, Jan 12, 2022, 10:51 PM Allan Streib via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Clearly not an anti-masker > > >

The rear suspension in the 201 and 124 is a thing of beauty until any of the links or bushings or mounts degrade, then its an absolute disaster. A 123 rear suspension degrades in a mostly linear fashion, it gets a little squishy, then a little worse, etc. The 201s that I have experience with
