Dirtsailor, you would have got a kick outta watching me beat that slug out with a hammer! I finally got it out!! I killed my new drill though (the spindle developed a wobble causing broken drill bits). I really wanted to make a nice clean hole but this thing was starting to beat me. To be...- tobycat

Scuba tank mini reverse flow - first build
So I am resorting to techniques I have not used since I was a kid building go-carts to get this hole made for the chimney. The hole saw worked OK for getting through the actual side wall of the tank but where it is cutting vertically through the end of the tank the wall thickness is at least...- tobycat

Opinions on mini reverse flow vs. mini standard offset The SCUBA-Q
Eric, yeah I thought it would be cool to be able to do just a a single slab of ribs. I ended up using the reverse flow plate but as a single piece of steel acting as the top of the firebox. Check my build post for the update pics.- tobycat

Important welding helmet lens question!!!
Wanted to give a quick tip to other newbie welders, I had replaced my lens with a #10 cheap $4 plastic lens and was still having trouble seeing the edge/seam I was trying to weld. I went back and bought a $14 Gold plated glass #10 and it is a dramatic improvement in visibility- spend the extra...- tobycat

Scuba tank mini reverse flow - first build
Going to use a piece 10" x 2" I.D. x 3/16" piece of black pipe for the chimney which will stick 2" into the chamber. Seems a little overkill with the wall thickness but it was free so that's what I will be using, my only concern is the depth into the cook chamber, does 2 " seem like too much...- tobycat
