[TheForge] Beware the quiet welder

[Jeff & Leslie]

Today I noticed that my Lincoln buzzbox while working nicely was running 
very quietly.  Now I don't exactly have a shop and it lives under a tent by 
my garage here in soggy Tallahassee where I'm constantly fighting one fast 
growing vine in particular that tries to take over my azaleas and now my 
"shop".  Took the back off and at first I thought it was a tiny wire that 
had gotten in the fan, but it was a thin tendril of white vine that had 
stopped the little fan from running.   After I removed the little #$%&^%$#@ 
and put the back on it ran noisily as before and blew air out the back.  So, 
watch out for your welder running too smoothly.
