  • In Episode 195 of Mike Finnegan's Garage, I show you how to mod your welding cart to keep those must-have tools from falling on the floor. Thanks to Miller Welders for providing me with a new tool that will make my wife happy; a Miller Welders fume extractor! This baby inhales the smoke from cutting, welding and grinding in my basement garage so that my wife doesn't have to smell it anymore. She doesn't know it, but she just go an early mother's day present!
    This episode also features a visit from Andy Weyenberg from Miller Welders Real Garage and he gave us tons of useful tips, which you can use for setting up and using the machines in your garage. Best of all, Andy showed us how to build a new top for our welder cart to hold all of the the tools and you can copy this top at home. Check it out!

    sweet welder. i miss my miller 250 mig welder. it my new auto shade helmet, new chain saw, 7 inch grinder, and not totaly possitive what other tools that were stolen. some one hooked onto the doors on the container i kept them in and litterly pulled the doors off the container and loaded up. I just cannot aford to replace it or any thing else so it is a hurt. I still have my 250 bob cat portable. so limited to stick but it runs so sweet and welds so nice for such a old welder. last winter it was -40, we needed AC power, the gen would not run, the little miller firedright up and run so sweet.

The cart they sit on was made out of cage that had a 1985 coleman generator bolted to it. May borrow the idea and modify to suit my needs for my cart.

    I have a 3300 cfm exhaust fan in my shop that will actually create vacuum in the shop so much so it makes doors hard to close and will spin the roof turbine backwards :D also getting a miller digital elite helmet was the best welding decision I ever made. it was impossible to learn to tig aluminum with the cheaper helmets that don't show the colors or have the clarity.

    • @paulcopeland9035
      @paulcopeland9035 Před 2 lety +2

      You should really address the issue of a potential vacuum in your shop. Negative pressure has a lot of bad going for it and nothing good. Worst and most dangerous is the potential to downdraft any flue exhaust you may have in the shop. Unit heaters and water heaters could kill you (CO) before you know it. Also, when a space is negative every crack and tiny seam in the building will leak outside air and impact your heating and/or cooling greatly. A motorized wall louver, slaved to your exhaust fan is a solution. Exhaust on, louver open - simple and safe. There are a lot of fancy (and expensive) ways to approach this problem, but a wall louver is an easy answer. Make-up air has been my business for many years and it scares me when I hear of a negative pressure building. Be careful!!
