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.
You could have justified buying a 3D printerProved to my wife that a lathe is an essential tool after the plastic centre broke in our glass topped patio table:

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
Was that a cladded tank originally?Made a lid for an old stainless steel tank, out of recycled stainless steel trays and some box section. Added and removed some nozzles as well. Gonna make a great water storage tank.

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.Was that a cladded tank originally?
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 carI 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!
