Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step

Nice work on the floor section! I can see where you were headed with the Skill Saw. I put a metal roof on my Pa's house years back and tried the "backwards wood blade" and straight-edge technique. OMG they don't make ear plugs, muffs, glasses or sleeves that are built for that kind of torture. I always thought that if they made the right blade (vs. abrasive) that'd be the trick. Minimal heat and clean, straight cut.

I spy some stuff in your last photo.... New helmet and gloves - need the story... why no Speed Glas? Did you buy that COOL copper backer with the handle on it? I've got a couple flat bars but I mostly use this big-old Tweako welding cable ring terminal, which SUCKS cuz it's got a big-ass hole in the middle!

Thanks, John. I've been lurking on eBay ever since my Speedglas gave up. So far nothing in my price range. I'm watching several items, so we'll see. Meanwhile, my old helmet was not auto darkening, so I picked up the one in the photo from HF to get me by while I wait on a "deal". Copper welding spoon is also an eBay item, $16.90 + free shipping. Previously, I used a piece of copper tubing that I split and flattened out. I keep it around because it can be formed to get into corners and tight spots.
