[TheForge] Spring cleaning

Wed Mar 10 07:15:01 2004

Oh, yeah.  For those of you that use light bulbs for keeping moisture out of
welding rod, etc.  Try coffee cup warmers.  I got mine at Walgreens for bout
$6.  Simply a 25W resistence heater and never burns out.  Had mine in my
welding rod refrigerator and Paint refrigerator for about six years now,
(and my gun safe, too).  Still puttering along, keeps the paint from
freezing in the winter and cooks the welding rod at a steady rate.

I change my compressor oil once a year. I use high priced synthetic
motor oil in them. Also drain the water every day. (Gulf Coast you know)
Keep a bulb in the hot box for abrasives and welding rods, vacuum the
whole shop once a week, water the flowers and that about does it.
