Why does stuff always stop working when your having a good build day?

Another quality post.

Hadn't welded for a couple weeks, got out there this weekend and whipped up a bracket/mount for the new T5. Ran some nice beads, man, that's some satisfying stuff right there.
So what exactly happened? Something fall and lop your torch off or what? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 1,897 Member | | Member Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 1,897 | Your welder has hands That would be really helpful. Hope everything is going to be well-ded soon.
There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

The wire feed has stopped working so I guess that's the end of that one.
