Good question. I have been very careful not to need touch-ups. I'd try one of the Rustoleum black colors, either gloss or satin. BTW, this "Rust-Oleum Universal All Surface Metallic Spray Paint" matches my frame very closely. See my video on Scout driving lights to see what I mean.

The white bucket is a water filter. The second bucket is a vacuum, made specifically to fit on the top of a bucket.

Thank you John, you just made my day. And I'm proud to say it is still working flawlessly.

Brian, thank you! Good advice indeed. I hope you and the family, are well! Thanks for watching.

Of course. See 0:44 in the video. There is a PVC pipe leading from the cabinet to the white 5-gallon bucket debris trap. See 8:50 in the video. This is air inlet to the PVC pipe leading from the cabinet to the white 5-gallon bucket debris trap. See 21:46 in the video. The bucket vacuum is attached to the orange bucket. The bucket-vacuum hose goes into the top of the white 5-gallon bucket. Thus the air from the cabinet leaves the cabinet and first goes into the white 5-gallon bucket debris trap, where any paint, rust, or dust is trapped in the debris bucket. The air is then cleaner and goes into the vacuum.

Hi could you tell me where you bought the fan for the sand vibrator!!!

@@WilliamFarr-xk6vy It is a run-pf-the-mill 3.5" fan from my used computer bin. They are a common item in that world. An amazon search for 3.5" or 90mm computer fan will give you many choices.

Thanks! In several years of usage, I have had no problems with the cable coming off of the pulley. The pulley is for about 3/4" cable or rope, so the groove is very deep.

Tim, the only thing added to the bucket that collects debris is the water in the bottom, and the air flow control pieces in the top of the bucket. The "bucket vacuum" was ordered from Home Depot and was shipped out of Canada. But that was two years ago, so I have no idea if it is still available. But bucket vacuums still seem to turn up for sale on internet searches from Home Depot, Walmart, and Amazon.

Thank you! As it says in the video, get my email address from my youtube home page, and email me for plans.

Agreed, I have been a customer of Gem State Metals in several forms and locations under one owner since 1992. The new (relatively) owner is far more greedy than Tom was, but it is truly the only place in the area to buy only the lengths you need.

Excellent! I'm in Eagle! Good luck! Don't give up. The learning curve at first is very steep, but it is worth the learning.

At 10:30 in the video it clearly says the product is from Amazon, and the amazon page is shown on the screen at 10:34.

Thank you!

@@freeidaho-videos also, I'm on my way to home Depot right now to get PVC, lights, the bucket vacuum, and that piano hinge. Anything outside the video to be aware of?

@@BigSarnt Sorry for the late reply. What you see is what you get pretty much. Good luck ! ! !

Thank you for the additional information. The TIG torch holder is my own design. It holds my TIG, MIG, Plasma, and Acetylene Cutting Torch.

Thank you! You are right, it is a game-changer.

Thank you!

Thank you sir for your kind words. So far, it works great, no problems.

Thank you!

Seems like a good idea for some of your taller vehicles.

My thought is the water should be as cool as possible going to the torch. But I can see the other design working as well. I suspect it doesn't make much difference either way if the cooling capacity is adequate.

@@freeidaho-videos The only thing I can think off is that any air in the radiator gets burped out in the reservoir. The way you have it could (in theory) have you pumping air bubbles into the torch. Also, I do not see a bypass?? My diy cooler had a valve t-eed between the feed and return lines with which I could unsure maximum flow with the least pressure, that did quieten the pump a lot.

@@NemesisRTCW No air bubbles anywhere in the system. The lines are all clear, and bubbles would be visible, and I would have removed them. I have noted that those coolers that have a pump with too much capacity, need a by-pass, to keep the pressure at the torch to the specified level. Those coolers with a beverage pump bypass up to 80% of their capacity. This just adds pumping heat to the coolant, and lowers efficiency.

Sounds like a great idea. Mine works well, even at high amperages, but I can see how a chiller would be even better.

Good idea too. It probably shakes more than mine. Both work.

Thank you Sir!

Thank you!

That is indeed ambitious. I wish you good luck! Adjustable height just can't be beat.

@@freeidaho-videos I followed those instructions and cannot see your email - thank you

@@blainesullivan9637 Oh, I forgot to mention, you need to be logged into youtube. Hope that helps.

@@freeidaho-videos sorry about the back and forth, I have followed your instructions and the instructions from several websites and your email is just not appearing. I’m not certain you’re settings are allowing it to be public again I apologize for the back-and-forth, but just not seeing it and if somebody else could follow these instructions and see if they can see it and confirm it’s there or not that would be pretty awesome. Thank you.

@@blainesullivan9637 Where does it go wrong?

Plans are free. Send me an email. My email account details are on my home page.

Thank you Sir. My milling machine base is very low, and I made it to roll under there.

Xactly! That keeps the dust down in the cabinet so one can see the action. Without it, it only takes 20 seconds before you can't even see the work piece.

@@freeidaho-videos and you know as far as compressor, I only have a 25 gallon compressor. Its maybe from the 90s but it’s a great compressor. It’s a seers craftsman “professional” two-stage oil less. I’m not sure of the CFM I think it’s 6.4 but then it says something 5.1 SCFM. Anyhow, the harbor freight cabinet looks like it’s 9.5 CSM at 90. Why does the cabinet matter? Is it a matter of the gun and the hose used? Couldn’t one downsize the size of the hose to use a smaller rated compressor?

@@AmeriFanPicker Like me you are going to have to wait. My Sears is a 1992 30 gallon 5hp single cylinder. So I try to have two projects going at once. Sandblast a little, weld a little, sandblast a little, fabricate a little, and so on.

Thank you Sir!

Thank you Sir! Agreed!

Thank you and good luck!

Thank you sir!

Thank you Jim! You made my day! ! !

You will appreciate not grinding the exhaust and pegs at every turn. Be safe, have fun, wheelie if you know how ;)

To be technically correct, WD40 was invented to displace water and keep things from rusting. W=water, D=Displacement. That said, it is mostly used for lubrication, which is what I use it for. It is extremely good on aluminum, and pretty good on steel. I use it on the drill, lathe, and milling machine, as well as most anything that needs a light lubricant.

@@freeidaho-videos used for water displacement to prevent rusting. When it disapates, rust will return.

@@hummv8 Sure does, however, some of the multi-year tests have shown it to be very effective.

Good luck, a I hope you make a video to share.

@@freeidaho-videos Also meant to mention, the low cost LED temp displays would be a useful addition to monitor actual temps of the coolant.

@@funone8716 For me, the temperature of the torch is most important. And I have to hang on to the torch to weld.

I will try to do better.

Whoa, there big fella. That is a pretty high horse you are riding. It turns out like I explained, this was my fault, and would have broken any lathe. When you start paying your own money for machine tools, it sometimes goes like this. Either buy something perfectly capable but not excellent, or have nothing at all. This is a Taiwanese lathe, a big difference from one from China. The quality is great for the price point and can regularly hold 0.0002" with a skilled machinist running it. So I chose to have it, instead of nothing.

@@freeidaho-videos The point I was making is that we in the US no longer have any regard for making machines as we did in the past. The problem you had with the keyed (broken) bushing reminds me of my Clausing lathe. It was specifically designed with a well known safety feature: A 0.093" sheer pin on the lead screw in case an operator either cuts too much in one pass or accidentally runs the cutting tool into a shoulder. Repairing it is just a matter of replacing the pin. Whether your Taiwanese lathe had the same intentions with the keyed bushing, I doubt it. Be that as it may, I hope all the best for you and your projects.

Sorry, these two parts run about 24hours on my CNC milling machine. I would lose money for sure.

Thank you!

Thank you Sir!

Thank you!

Thank you Sir!

That is covered in part 1 th-cam.com/video/uZR1QHCkVq8/w-d-xo.html, around the 5 minute mark.

Thank you! The LEDs and the window do get dirty. But the LEDs are so bright, I don't have to clean them very often.

@freeidaho-videos awesome! Good to know, thanks for the response. Could I bug you for a link to those lights?

@@cameronvandeusen7871Those are just Walmart lights. Nothing really special about them.

Thank you!

Wrong. If we use your idea we'll eliminate the radiator in your truck and add 3 55 gallon barrels of coolant to the system. Now you can't haul anything because the truck bed is full of barrels of coolant.

@@funone8716 but where not talking about trucks out on the road, where talking about a tig hand piece with 6mm water lines. Anyway after 35 years of profesional welding and regularly pushing 350 mig amps and 200+ tig using the same water unit, ill stick to what i know works.

​@@superdidly1 Then why do professional coolers all run a radiator? Because a fan and a radiator have near infinite cooling capacity, wheras just a larger but not actively cooled reservoir will eventually heat up.
