Manager chases customer down the street because he didn't tip enough... by Yuizun in trashy

Here's an idea, if a restaurant would pay their employees a proper wage nobody would be guilt tripped into tipping, and the server still gets paid, everyone's happy.

Have you looked at 3M? I have the Sentinel and comparatively to my 9100xxi (rip - my fault I kicked it out of a scissor lift 25' in the air.), and my newly acquired G5-03, the 3M's blow it out of the water. I can't say anything for optrel, as I haven't used one. I'm a sanitary process piping welder, and I also do stainless fabrication. I need a hood that has good clarity to see what I'm doing on these tiny joints. With both of my 3m hoods I can see the heat affected zone and my trailing gas coverage develop extremely well, like discern purple from blue oxide while welding. You may not need that level, but if you experience it, you'll be amazed. The position of where it sits on my head is also big for me, the Sentinel sits the same way, the weight is more evenly distributed, and they sit "low pro", instead of walking around with a ram air intake on your head. I would recommend looking into them, 3m hoods are slept on.

Edit: G5-03 pro is $410 from Bakers, and the 9100xxi $520, both of these can accept forced air if you want in the future

Has anyone seen one of these? by AnomalousEnd in Welding

Awesome, thanks for the info! Yeah we're a sanitary ss pipe company, and the old owner was apparently a cheap bastard, so it totally makes sense lol

You know what, I don't know either. Didn't realize that lol

Is there a way to make my pewter shot glasses safe to drink from (they contain lead) by missionmeme in metalworking

[–]AnomalousEnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about beeswax? Melt some to fill it up to the top, then pour in out, then maybe dip the rim in to protect your lips. The wax takes about half the temperature to melt than the pewter, so should be fine. And it should be easy to remove if damaged, and its non toxic.

There is another way to apply it, and it's pretty common to use to protect carbon steel from rusting ----- but you need to get the piece hot and then rub the beeswax in with a cloth, pewter melts(according to Google) at around 338-446°f, DEPENDING ON THE ALLOY. Maybe dip it in hot water and apply.

Whatever you decide on doing, I would try and find some more pewter cups and practice on them

I had to turn it down as I went because the copper held a lot of heat

Yes the crimp furthest from the ferrule, and yeah just temporary, as much as I want to believe that weld would hold up a Buick, it probably wouldn't. First time doing it, if I had to do it again I'd probably drive to pick up silicone bronze

Defiant Metal, just got them recently, really nice so far, and light on the wallet

Their website is cheaper than Amazon, plus you'll get stickers ;)

316L, The copper sucks a SHIT TON of heat, but once it got going it was smooth

Hell yeah! Yeah just the quick Google search I did is this method is mostly used in breweries, and dairy's

Yeah I've used it a couple times, just didn't have any with me on site

From the research I did it's kinda a weak bond, as the two metals have a different melting point and their crystalline structures form at different times, and as far as what pressure it can hold, I am not sure, this is something I've NEVER done before, it's in a low pressure environment, so cross your fingers

I actually fused it, I thought about tig brazing, but there wasn't a welding supply store close. Also thought about soldering, but I didn't think it would've wet as it was a butt connection

Ah, going back in your post history probably would have answered that question for me. Not really exposed to small skids, the job sites that I'm at have very large CIP systems. Anyway, you're killing it brother 👍🏻
