It's also the type of job which can make you wonder why you keep inflicting it upon yourself.
In general I don't do it as everyday money making work , but now and then on me own stuff or for a real friend I'll go that extra mile to try and fix somat as I know a few have done for me.

Over the years I have done some jobs I know for a fact nobody would have taken on and been successful but there have been a very small number of jobs, all of which I remember, where I know for certain nobody else could have done, these are the special jobs.

No rules just lots of noise and spinning things. I guess you could bet on what side they’re going to come out of though.Right now show us a vid of it working you know the rules

I used up all the off cuts and recycled bits of cladding to finish off the side of my cabin, it looks a lot better and now the side space can become a small store for garden tools and bits.

I don't care how many time you check it is empty and the valve is open, you always get that state of "heightened self awareness" or Pucker factor when you set the saw off:
She is a good ole Donkey that saw is. If you took her apart and rebuilt her there is an above average chance she won't work right again!
Stands up straight now
Valve gone and start to make some targets now, I have saved some "holes"

Was that a cladded tank originally?

I don't think so. It was a solvent liquor seperator tank, and we have never had those clad before. Just a 10/11 gauge sheetmetal tank put together before design codes were heard of.
It was sitting for years outside before we bought it from my workplace for scrap value, and it sat for another few years at ours. Someone had nicely removed the lid and de-asbestos'ed it, but left the rustiest backing ring you ever did see. I just chopped it off altogether.
Not as fun as winning an auction of scba gear for cheap and finding out the 3 tanks were half full (80-100 bar) and last inspected 10+ years ago when you go to strap them in the car

I have a twinset in the shed, last used by me over twenty years ago and they are full! Yours for the taking :-)
