BTW, keep in mind that argon is heavier than air. Make your breathing hole at the high spot. If you're using a flow meter, you can do the initial purge at higher flow rates... for example 20cfh, then once you are pretty sure you purged the whole thing, turn it down to 5cfh.

I made up a tool to hold the pipes in alignment ready for tacking and that really helped.

I ran one bead through a line of soapstone today and it wasn't terrible. A little discoloration in the flame but overall the bead did appear to that bad......

Then I proceeded to make my first attempt at 2.5" exhaust tubing. One piece of mild and one of stainless.

That depends on whether or not I want to type the whole thing out -- or just cut and paste the part that's important.

I read A LOT..... and I research A LOT.... When someone asks a question -- many times I'll go out and research MY answer to make absolutely certain I'm telling someone the right answer... and sometimes I find a little nugget here and there that's worth remembering/sharing. Sometimes we just "think" we know something... I prefer to double check what I "think" I know. In doing that - I usually learn something too!

You're coming along nicely Siegmaster!!
