    That Tank cut off would make a decent forge or foundry furnace shell.

    Yesterday, I was working with DeWalt cordless Chainsaw and Drill. The batteries really did not last long. Seems to be off better to start my jobs to lay an extension cable.

      Good to know! The grinder and chainsaw must really suck up the power. I know my Ego battery powered chainsaw works well, but that battery is huge in comparison…

    I like the head gear you were wearing for the cutting job. Hope you also have some sort of ear protection, because the sound produced while cutting metal is more to the higher pitched type , I would at least wear those water proof ear plugs or something similar for this kind of sound if I can help it

    • @AndrewReuter
      @AndrewReuter  Рік тому +1

      I 100 percent wear ear plugs with the face mask and grinder! That thing is LOUD. I used the router without hearing protection when I made the sewing cubbies like 4 years ago, and I swear my ears still ring from that…

      By the time you get Andrew prepped up with all the safety fears from each of your comments, he isn't going to be able to function-safely or otherwise.
      *Normal precautions* are fine, but life isn't risk free-no matter how many OSHA posters people read at work.

    Interesting, i have an old well out in the garage underground (6ft x 5ft) square in the center of the concrete floor, the pump, pressure tank and piping is about 6+ft down.
    Mine looks to be burried in the ground and about 3ft of it protrudes up out of the ground down in there, my tank is alot bigger though, twice the sizeor more in diameter then the one in the video.
    Its probaly been there since the 60's or older and last ran in the late 80's or somewhere in the 90's.
    Ive been wondering how much of it goes down in the ground (i always figured probaly 8ft or so) and wondered if theres water in it..
    Thinking about turning the pump on and see what happens..
    Its still wired into a switch on the wall but disconnected and wire nutted at the pump.
    Its still plumbed into the shop water faucet and sprinkler system in the yard (not used in 25-30 years obviously) Theres even a main line to the house basement (disconnected dead head)
    If it works i might want to keep it just incase we ever need our own supply of water..but if its no good id like to pull that tank and stuff out of there with a wench and use the big pit for working on cars in the shop..

    Been a while but still a supporter 👍#19. Your tank lasted a lot longer than mine. I believe my tank had to be changed around the 21maybe 22 year mark. The current tank is about 23 years old. Bought it from Sears, it has a rubber blatter in it. I do not know how much chocolate is in there but I am sure it is more than I would like it to be. If you are going to weld this tank try hitting the sides with a hammer to see if you can remove the lining. It should just chip off.
    Stay well, Joe Z

    some sort of hole should be present at the bottom of that tank , to deal with the residue or something, lest we have to cut it open every time we need to clean it

    • @AndrewReuter
      @AndrewReuter  Рік тому +1

      Yeah! Now that you mention it, it’s interesting that they don’t have a clean out hole. Nor did they account for clay build up over the years by having the outlet at the bottom…

    when you were cutting it, it should be laying on its side on the floor, because cutting while it is standing straight is more dangerous
