    Scuba tank mini reverse flow - first build

    Dave that's sure using the K.I.S.S. method! I could just mount the handle in the middle of the door, it does have flanges already, no tabs needed. It could serve double duty as a small shield for when the BBQ bandits attack.

    Metal Blade for Circular Saw? i

    dbourg you are correct   "Discretion "caution" is the better part of valor" I have been working on and around and operating machinery and tools all my life.  I am usually the worry wart about safety and it has served me well to be that way. I have pissed off a few shop owners in my time but I'd...

    Metal Blade for Circular Saw? i

    Still hoping someone will post up if they have used one of these blades from any manufacturer.  My questions are not whether or not it is safe to use but how long will the blade last and can you do a drop cut with one the same as you could into wood.  As I stated in my first post I plan on...

    Metal Blade for Circular Saw? i

    dfbourg, no the saw in the video is a regular circular saw, look closely, he also says so in the video comments. Q. "Hi, nice job. A question, is that a regular( for wood mostly) circular saw or is it a metal circular saw? Thanks in advance". A. "Thanks. It's a regular circular saw, not one...

    Scuba tank mini reverse flow - first build

    Made some  progress yesterday, got the firebox/baffle plate welded on. I also ordered some stainless spring handles. Still need to decide on how I want to do the hinges for the cook chamber door. I have some stainless marine hinges that bolt on or  go the traditional barrel style using rod and...

    Metal Blade for Circular Saw? i

    Found this on youtube, I don't think they would be selling these at Home Depot if they were not reasonably safe.  I have had an abrasive disk explode on me though.

    Galvanic coating and bead blasting!! PLEASE READ

    I believe he used a garnet media not that it matters now, I have had galvanic/zinc poisoning once and that was enough. When I get this tank sanded down to fresh clean metal I will then burn it out. I just wanted everyone to be aware that even though its blasted there can still be a lot of...

    I magnetized my tank!

    Thank you all for the wise advice and probably sparing me a lot of frustration , weld puddles running across the metal is something I don't need. I'm a quarter mile from THE MYSTERY SPOT here in Santa Cruz and that would have freaked me out. Like David said, my welds don't need any help doing...

    Galvanic coating and bead blasting!! PLEASE READ

    Just want to give everyone a warning about bead blasting  off galvanic coating.  I took my little 4130 chromoly scuba tank to a powdercoater to have the zinc/galv blasted off. I had already cut the door out so the inside of the tank was exposed and blasted as well.  Not sure if it was because he...

    I magnetized my tank!

    Had my scuba tank resting against a welding magnet while cutting on it. I now have metal dust clinging to all the cut edges. Has this ever happened to anyone else?, should I worry about it?. Will it make my Q taste better??

    Metal Blade for Circular Saw? i

    Found a metal circular saw at Harbor Freight for $94.99. Was going to spend $40 on just the blade. Still curious if I'll get the door and firebox opening cut before it goes dull.
