Yay! More Garage chat! Why'd you go with a two post instead of a four? Congrats on the new house!

rndmnmbr posted:Is the old Lincoln or Miller SMAW buzzbox bought at a farm sale for $50 not a thing anymore? I mean, I understand that MIG is easier to learn than stick, but I personally find it hard to beat the value of old stick welders. They're super cheap, they never break, electrodes are cheap as hell, and if you learn electrode sizing and proper amperage control you can weld anything under the sun with them, from thin sheetmetal to structural steel. Only downside, they're 220V only. Yeah, the Lincoln 'tombstones' as they're sometimes called are pretty legendary. My dad has one that HIS dad used to weld when he was a kid. It's heavy as gently caress too so it could also be used to inflict blunt force trauma in the event that you need to defend your home/garage I've got a stick/tig everlast and while stick is definitely harder, it's nice that it's so much more portable since you don't need gas or to worry about wire feed.

Adiabatic posted:I can use this thread for garage/house projects and the occasional bit of car work if y'all are interested in that sort of thing, or close it in hopes that I'll get back into the swing of things before it falls to the archives. Now it's starting to sound like what my thread became before it fell to archives I can't speak for everyone, but I enjoy the house projects. Though, I'm also a jerk that posts about them in AI, so...

MrsAdiabatic posted:https://youtu.be/NecQolGJB2s That's really coming together. I like the choice to use wood on the wall above the countertop . Are you going to close up the garage door end of the garage too? I'd think that'll help keep heat in, plus you don't run the risk of having to deal with fiberglass falling out. Are you going to finish the surface of the drywall you put up? I personally dislike the how the paper discolors over time a lot. I might have missed it too, but how did you mount the vice to keep it secure? Or is it just so heavy that it's own weight keeps it secure?

cursedshitbox posted:That email is quite possibly the best loving thing ever. after reading that I'd even own the goddamn thing. Me too. I love his commitment to staying with it after so many transmissions. The interesting question I can't help but ask myself is, if you replace the tranny with something stronger than the unit it has, then push it, what breaks next? Axles? Diff? Something else? My money is on diff, and I bet it'll be fun pushing it to that place

Adiabatic posted:He has SO MANY spares right now and I'm coming home with at least two. He said he'd rebuild one to his current specification with WRX internals and a Forester case, and send it off with me. I totally missed the 'WRX internals' detail my first time through. Is STI really the only next step? With how lego like Subaru is it seems like a Tribeca tranny or something weird should be an option. Or maybe cryo treating WRX internals (or is that just weak snake oil?)? All of this Forester chat is making me miss the one I owned a few years back and it wasn't even turbo. First gen sport package, man that was a fun car. I'm looking forward to reading about the adventures you get up to with this thing
