Thank you!

Depending on temperature, ideal would be 68 degrees Fahrenheit, it should be about 24-36 hours. If it's cooler this time of year, give it a good two days. If you have a second shower give it a few days to be sure because why not.

Technically the lever pulls the magnet up into the frame far enough away it doesn't hold anymore, but yes it turns them on and off

Thanks so much! This will be my morning project.

How long do I have to wait until it’s truly water proof and safe to shower in?

Scrape it off and do it right. You'll thank yourself later.

You got that right. I have many welding projects I want to get started on but I might as well just make it out of pure silver or gold, the way steel prices are lately!

Hell yeah dude

Nice work. Thinking about learning welding myself. These are good examples of implementation. Thanks for posting.

You know you're going to regret this, right? One day you'll find the wood missing and the whole thing covered with big wax caps then when you open them up you'll find giant bees in there. Three giant bees.

Then you'll have to keep them warm in your house for the winter if you want ANY hope of giant bee honey in the spring.

You did this to yourself! Now protect your corgi-sized bees!

Good idea, I just don't have the tooling to do it that way.

Thank you, I will pull it and take a look

I'd recommend getting an actual welding jacket with a protective snap collar and made out of actual fire resistant material. I think I got mine off Amazon for like $20, it doesn't need to be anything fancybut after the first couple hot pieces of slag got down my collar I learned my lesson lol

It’s no wives tale . The fumes go into your lungs and into your blood and will make you very sick

The milk goes into your digestive system and then into your blood on its way to your kidneys . And on the way , while the poison fumes that got into your blood are in the blood at the same time as the milk is in your blood , the poison fumes are attracted to the milk and somehow will attach to the milk and pass out with your urine .

Trust me on this , you do NOT want to inhale the fumes from welding galvanized metal. And if you do , or think you may have , drink as much milk as you can stand for the next two or three days .

My neighbor is a certified welder , it’s not a old wives tale , or if it is , it’s an accurate one .

Plus , unless your lactose intolerant, whats it gonna hurt to drink a bunch of milk ?

I live in a town with a lot of industry, many metal supply shops to choose from.

Flux core

The metal itself is so expensive!

Safety's like... third.

Harbor freight, get the $150 flux core wire feed welder. $80 auto darkening helmet (the one that comes with the welder is garbage) $22 spool of flux core wire. $8 gloves. $free some old long sleeved shirt.

Have at it. Yeah your welds aren't gonna look great. But by the 2nd spool you should have the hang of it.

They weren't responding to you at all there. You're also not owed an answer.

Try not being rude, and try looking things up. You would do well to save your comments and think before you post.

It only looks thick because it has flaps at the edges.

The scale was deceiving until the last pic showed It full of wood, then it looked a lot bigger
