I figure I have " MacGuyvered " a way to make up for lack of a third hand more than McDonalds has made hamburgers. No way I could have ever gotten much done without my C-clamps and magnets. Yah, I need more. Smokin Mike, FWIW... Stillwell Chuck has an awesome assortment of clamps. |
I'm liking working alone going on 5 or 6 years now since I had employees. |

Impressive  |
Roll your eyes, I have worked with over 100 welders.
I'm sure some are faster and better but they would be few and far between. |

my target is still being a tig'r.
I'd still work side by side with anyone welding.
I don't do so good with torches I have them, and can fix that problem with the plasma cutter. |

It didn't. The biggest thing that brought me to this forum a few years ago was the quality of content contributed by the posters of this forum in a most humble and helpful way. That is rare in this day and time.

Smokin Mike, I apologize for my contribution to the hijacking of your thread. I have a couple of Bessey clamps just like yours and find them very helpful, especially when building angle iron grates.

No apology necessary my friend. It's all good.
