No, I don't lick fish.
So a 4-wire dryer plug will have A phase, B phase, neutral, and ground on the plug. A 3-wire dryer plug will have A phase, B phase, and neutral on the plug. Any modern day dryer will be 220v.

That was a good bit of info! I am scouting for a new building that has 3 phase power. You can find it industrial areas and near big farming operations. it's cheaper to use. You can tell if a machine is 3 phase by looking at the input power tag and appliances will have four wires.

When I became a weldor I quickly found out that accidental electrocution is easy to do and easy to avoid. New dry gloves are essential and regular replacement of worn parts. Easy in word, not so much in practice.

The other day I was welding in the garage on a hot day ~100 degrees in the garage. I had to tack some framing on the ground so everything remained flat. I noticed my knees were a little sweaty... So I quickly decided It was smarter to tack everything in uncomfortable squatting position vs's on my bare sweaty knees Luckily I've quickly been able to correct any safety concerns before they were an issue. Also maintaining a good ground to your work (if possible), and if not, as close as you can is good practice. Always give the current a better path than yourself to go.

Nice work there 616! you are getting some nice welds on that machine of yours!
I welded up a pitman arm and got all my bars to line up and steering box to match the knuckle reach a couple of weeks ago and started on new spring mounts for the rear leafs.

thanks guy! not bad for self taught. started out on a cheapo HF flux.... that POS taught me quick how easy it wasnt to get a smooth nice bead. jumped to a decent MIG, and couldnt be happier. now just to learn to TIG.

[QUOTE=XJwonders;3117634]Welded my 231/300 doubler shaft
I ordered 1/16" 312 today after scratching around the shop and finding nothing in that alloy. I read up a bit and it seems like the best choice. I need to find a piece of the correct spline to connect with the D300, I think I have the other end of the shaft somewhere in the scrap barrel. I have a needle gun and have had great luck with using it on fracture critical parts.
Thanks for leading the way, I hope it works!

not fabrication but have question that is weld related. at my work (machine shop) I sometime weld small parts. my question is I wear contact lenses. my co worker told me it's not good idea to be welding while wearing contacts. I always wear my helmet when welding. what you guys think?
