"Official" Thread Assorted Funny $hit

Noted artist and prankster Scott Lobaido has been hanging "Trump Crossing" signs in Manhattan.

If they made them on corrugated sign board so they're cheap like campaign signs, it would be fun to place them at strategic locations around town... :cool:

I’d buy a ton of them and plaster them all over San Diego

Witnessed this ad for a "lunchbox" welder on TEMU. At first I was like "It fits in one hand? How powerful can it be?" :D

I have a similar size one (second picture size), that I got about 20 years ago. Inverter unit that weighs about 5 pounds. It was made in Italy, not China. It is surprisingly capable. Good enough that I made a scratch start TIG welder out of it. Not ideal but I learned a lot about the TIG process with it.

WARNING: OT content! ;)

I've had a couple of the TA95s shown. That pic is the last TA95 TIG/Stick "kit" I owned but didn't need it so sold it ($300 profit!). It fit nicely into the shallow bin shown with welding blanket on top (not shown).

I still have the HF80 bought at closeout "purple tag" at the HF store for $20. :) The HF came with stinger but needed the work-piece (ground) lead so I repurposed half an old jumper cable and added a mini-Dinse connector. The TAs had a little switch for TIG but the HF did not and it did not matter. Pulled the (clean) briefcase out of the dumpster to repurpose it.

Scratch-start DC TIG no problem using the Weldcraft 9V shown. Hooks directly to the Ar regulator. Made an adapter to use it with the larger Dinse connector on my TA185.

My little inverter rig is the same size as the off white one. I think I got it at harbor freight. I bought it mostly because it said Made in Italy and I was in shock because it was the first EU product I ever saw there. The Chinese copied it quickly enough and knocked it out of the HF catalog.

I got real good at grinding tungstens after sticking them and judging gas flow. Not so good at turning off the manual gas. I only did a few stick welds with it but it was far more stable than the little transformer "toy" I had before it. Collecting all the pieces and parts to make it a TIG was half the fun. Kind of like building a gun. At the time there was no such thing as a hobby grade TIG. Everything available was in the thousands of dollars range. I probably had $150 in this thing. Priceless as a teaching tool. Not very useful to actually do stuff.
