I just wanted to say thanks again to you and the other fellow for an amazing intro to welding. I can't quite remember his name, but he was great non the less, 
I'm going to give my bike a go here in the next day or two, can you maybe recap a couple things I may need to know before I go blow myself up:)
I should be fine on my own, I'm good a repeating what I've been shown, but anything you said is lost to time and space. lol
All the best,
Namaste,

Hi Dan. I'll be there, I can bottom line the night for you. We have some different metal scraps in the space right now that we can probably use as well. Looks like we've got a good response on the list here, so the turnout should be pretty good. Send me an email with any extra details and I can send something out to the list later this week for an official reminder.

Will anyone with keys be there on the 23rd? Is it a bad night because of cansecwest?

Tuesday the 23rd works great for me.

Sounds like there's enough interest - and John, my
oxy-acety skills boil down to "is it melted? no? keep going keep going
keep going oh crud I blew through" so I for one would love it if you
would be up for sharing. Is this enough to make it a Tuesday thing? If
so, would the 23rd work for everyone who's expressed interest so far? (vancal.org has
nothing since last month.)

  

Added the welder to the 'loan' list.

Hi all.  I visited VHS one time last June with my friend Matt, but I've
been a subscriber to the email list since.  I believe we were there one
night where people brought Arduinos, back at the Victoria drive
location, and we were talking about our potato cannons.  Now that I'm
done high school, I actually have some time on my hands.  If the MIG
intro wasn't last night, I may want to drop by when it happens.  Btw,
if
anyone's interested, I just finished an Oxy-Acetylene
welding/cutting/brazing intro at BCIT, so I could give a quick blurb
about it if people are up for it.  (Maybe you haven't used an oxy-fuel
torch since high school?)  I have a portable Oxy/MAPP torch setup that
can fit in my backpack, if anyone would like to play with fire.  Not
trying to steal the spotlight from Dan, but I figure since most of us
are up for a welding night anyways...

    

Let me know

    -John

      I was wondering what this whole shebang is like?  I'm
thinking
of stopping by tomorrow.
      Any software hackers or is it more of a hardware group?

                    Hi all,

                    

Michael Bean mentioned that some hackers were excited to see my

welding rig. VanHackers are more than welcome to use it; if there's

interest I could give a short introduction to welding some evening.

I'm kind of oddly emotionally attached to the coveralls so maybe don't

use those? And of course you break it you bought it, you break

yourself you fix yourself, don't blind people with the arc, etc.

                    

There is flux core in the box (which can be used without co2/argon

gas) but IT EMITS TOXIC FUMES. If you're going to use the flux core

you must not do so inside where other people's health would be put at

risk. Unfortunately my tank is at eatART right now, so welding with

regular wire will have to wait until I can bring that back, unless

someone else has 72/25 lying around. The wire isn't amazingly

expensive but the gas can get pricey, so (once the tank's at 45W

again) if anyone is going to weld up a big project it'd be nice if

some gas got added to the pot.

                    

"some gas got added to the pot"... never thought I'd use those words

in that order.

                    

Cheers!

-D
