Radnor's New E3™ Tungsten

     Radnor's new E3™ claims some pretty great advantages over 2% Thoriated (red) tungsten, perhaps the most important is that there is zero radiation risk. Though the radiation risk with  Th-1 and Th-2 is not apparent when the torch is lit; a common miss conception, the risk comes from ingesting dust or particles of the material (sharpening the tungsten on a grinding wheel).
     I bought a couple sticks to try with a transformer machine and the inverter in my shop. Ill post the results when the shop is finished. Heres a better description from Radnor. E3™

Purple Power!

I'm going to put them to the test, I have about 100' of aluminum fillets to do on some tool boxes this week. Ill let you know how it pans out.

Road to Valhalla 2012

     I want to thank everyone who came out to The Road to Valhalla, we had a pretty good turnout for a first year event, over 125 bikes throughout the day. We raised $600 for Rose's Rescue thanks to the T-shirt sales (artwork by Jon J. Russel) and the raffle sponsored by Lowbrow Customs, Speed Merchant, Death Science, Gorgeous George, Hate City Customs, Old Familiar Barber Shop and us at CCMW. Big thanks to Linda and Chris at Iron Horse Saloon for facilitating us hooligans! It was great to meet some Instagram friends in person, most of those crazy bastards stayed the night, eeek. But we appreciate them coming out and partying with us. There are a ton more pictures on Facebook from the Iron Horse staff. Check it out!



Thanks Jon! @jonjrussel
