[TheForge] Gazintas that SUCK

[Kevin Donahoe]

Jerry writ; "either working on my knees on a concrete floor or wrestling
horses."

Is that because there's no alligators to wrestle in AK?

 Thanks Ralph, I feel almost shocky.

 Most of the metal work I've done has been fab and the thing I
 hated most was
 either working on my knees on a concrete floor or wrestling horses. With a
 grid of sockets I should be able to jig most anything that'll go
 through the
 door.

 I think the exhaust should be enough, the bar grate is 4' x 4' and
 it'll sit
 over a plenum on four legs in four sockets. If there still isn't
 enough draw
 through four sockets I'll just choke the grate with a little sheet metal,
 etc. I've used cutting/welding tables like this powered by a shop vac that
 worked pretty well. I think the 3" intake forge blower I'm using will
 outdraw a shop vac.

 I hope. <grin>
