Description given on Youtube:
In this video, I show you what I think to be the easiest and the best way to stick weld. Start your arc like you strike a match, and just run it slow, consistent, and straight. Lincoln and Miller are both good brands for welders, and a DC welder is easier and runs better beads than an AC welder.

Description given on Youtube:
Broke the fan on my WH 520H, rope from the leaf sweeper got caught in the fan. Went to my shed today and heard a loud A…hole coming in my direction. Walked over but was ignored… Not sure what bee flew up his beret. My parents bought a snow blower 5+ years ago that they wanted out of their garage. I offered to pay them but would have nothing to do with it. The Wheel Horse snow blower is a lot of work to put on and take off, may wind up selling that, as it takes up a lot of space. Mini bike project coming, as well as beefing up the log splitter and what to do with that Husqvarna tractor…

Dad and Dave from Snake Gully ran in 2,275 15-minute episodes on Australian radio from 1937 until 1953. It featured George Edwards, the “Man with a Thousand Voices”, who played the part of Dad as well as many other characters including Ted Ramsay, Alf Morton and Uncle Clarence.
Mum was played by Loris Bingham (later Hope Sutton), Dave was played by John Saul while Edwards’ wife, Nell Stirling, played the part of Mabel.
Nell Stirling sued Edwards in 1945 for “Restitution of Conjugal Rights’ when Edwards moved out of their apartment in Point Piper, Sydney.
The daily misfortunes, loves and triumphs of the down to earth rural folk featured in Dad and Dave were based on Steele Rudd’s book, ‘On Our Selection’ written in 1899 and set in outback south-eastern Queensland. Bert Bailey bought the rights to the book and featured the characters on stage and in several Ken G. Hall films produced during the 1930s.
