Welder's Handbook: A Complete Guide to Mig, Tig, Arc & Oxyacetylene Welding
- This book has much more than what the name implies. It covers stress, warpage, brazing, soldering, jigs, tig, arc, mig, you name it...it has it! If I had this book way back when, I wouldn't have had to learn about stress and warpage the hard way. It explains everything necessary to weld metal and brings to light some of the things that beginners may never consider. If you own this book and Ron Fourier's Metal Fabrication Handbook you will be one step ahead in the world of metal fabrication. Another Dune-Buggy.com Winner! Highly Recommended!!!

BuggyWebs: Intercooled Air Compressor
- The purpose of intercooling an air compressor is to rid the air of water BEFORE it gets into the tank. Maybe you have experienced water dripping off the end of your air hose and you are using a water separator, and you still have water dripping! The reason is the air is super-heated and the water is in a vapor state. It goes right through the water separator because it is in a gas state, not liquid.

Pirate4x4.Com - Bendin' Tube 101
- I'm sure for some, when you first unpack your bender, you’ll be lost. I don’t blame you, it looks like some sort of mediaeval torture devise… lol
It’ll have some very confusing instructions and list of calculations that might as well be written in some ancient language. So you’ll throw some tube in the thing, pull the handle, and Ohhhh YEahhhh, you’ve bent tube with your bare hands! (In my best Tim Allen voice…aruh… aruhh... arhhh)
But now you’ve got a bent piece of tube, with no way to know where to start, or stop. I’d like to share some simple things I’ve learned, after what seems like miles of wasted tube.
Yes, there is another way to do it!...
