    Welding wire for stainless steel?

    Cut the coupler completely, clean it up and silver solder a new one in place. MIG won't work for a sanitary weld. If it needs to be welded TIG it properly, or have someone who's done a lot of stainless sanitary welding do it. I've go a nice keg with two ratty coupler welds I'm trying to fix...

    Keezer collar attachment

    I used a closed cell foam seal just a camper top on a pickup truck. I didn't fasten it to the freezer at all. It has a1/2" overlap all the way around and 1/8 clearance for size. It just sits on top and the lid hinges bolt to the wood collar. It works great. I was prepared to glue it down...

    drilling problem

    At work we do a lot of stainless steel industrial enclosures. We use standard drill bit 1/8 is a good pilot size. we also use all Greenlee punches with hand hydraulic power unit to punch holes. Working on stainless is hard on tooling. If you can sharpen a bit you can save a lot of money:)

    drilling problem

    You probably didn't harden it very much if at all. What size drill are you using for a pilot? Did it get hot, did you create a bunch of smoke? You should use a small drill for pilot. Make sure it's a split point to start the hole. You don't need carbide for stainless just keep you bits sharp. It...

    Wire voltage rating?

    Wire voltage rating has nothing to do with the conductor size or Gauge. The current draw in the circuit determines size. Wire voltage rating is based on the insulation type and thickness. This is "generally" written on the insulation somewhere. If it is not, you have to assume it is rated for...

    I have successfully welded 5 gal plastic buckets for a leakproof seal. I use them in a portable keg dispenser as an ice bin. I left the bottom bucket intact and the top bucket I trimmed the very top lip off and cut the bottom out of it. Then I turned the top bucket upside down and slid it into...

    can these co2 cartridges be used?

    You should be able to. The look like standard 12 gram co2 cartridges. Some people use them for a single homebrew keg for portability. You'd have to use one of these... http://www.homebrewing.org/CO2-Keg-Charger_p_3343.html

    What am I doing wrong?

    Several things could be issues. How fast is the glass filling? How long is the beer line? You could be over carbonated, your beer lines could be too short. Mine are 7' when I had 4' lines I had foam galore!

    Orbital table DIY build

    A couple issues I can think you may have. The rollers right on the MDF will wear out the "wood" pretty quick. You need some time of hard surface in there, like metal. The other issue may be running the wiper motor directly off of the battery charger. You may need a battery in there for things to...
