    Merry Christmas to all and I wish you fine resolution (and precision) for the new year. Santa found us! Goodies for the parents and the four legged child. Traditional fish cakes for breakfast and not so traditional supper thawing. What could be better! :) D :cool:

    Oh, man! But I had to do the whole way backward in a blizzard! ;) Actually I had to draft tractor trailers and big SUVs to get the rig over 100 kph! (Her Integra complete with MIL in the back seat). Two walls, that’s a serious bookcase. D :cool:

    Plasma cutter for under $300!!

    I don’t have experience with plasma but I would expect that there would be a recommendation of what shade value would be used with it just as it is for different types/materials of arc welding or brazing. Maybe the manual will have suggestions? D :cool:
