TOPIC: Just wanted to say thanks

Just wanted to say thanks 14 years 8 months ago #3967

There is nothing more gratifying to me, than to watch a true craftsman at work.
I watch and observe and almost always, learn a new technique or trick I can incorporate into my own style.
When I can't watch, I read.
Recently in the post "never use an easy out," someone suggested welding a nut over a broken bolt.
I had an occasion yesterday to incorporate the trick on a motor stand I had built.
One of the wheels simply would not tighten up.
I found the culprit to be one of those single caster studs that barely had an indentation for a flat screwdriver.
I tried several options in the vain attempt to exert enough downward force on the stud to hold it in place.
Then it came to me, weld a nut on it.
There was just enough room to get the welder in there and place a quick tack.
I was able to weld two sides and leave two sides clear for a wrench. Problem solved.

I can honestly tell you, If I had not read it here, I would not have thought of it.
It saved me a ton of aggravation and scrapping a wheel.
So, all that to say,
THANKS

God bless us all, everyone....
