Making Tig Rod Storage

Tig Rod Storage

While Qtys last, get a hog tee shirt and a tig finger for around 23 bones

My TIG rod situation had gotten out of hand so I made some TIG rod Storage out of PVC pipe.

I have more tig rods than the average welder. And I have lots of different kinds and sizes.

Along with the normal stuff that every welder needs like er70s2 for mild steel, er308L for stainless, er309L for dissimilar metals like stainless to carbon, 4043 aluminum, silicon bronze, and aluminum bronze for tig welding cast iron…
I also have a bunch of expensive welding rods like hastelloy W.
I made 8 holders and I need about 10 more.

 

Your thoughts?

  1. Nice idea for rods.
    As for argon prices.

  2. Great work on these weekly learning sessions, very much appreciated. Your DVD collection is also very helpful to an old stick and MIG welder attempting to be good on TIG.
    Question: If these weekly emails are saved, is the video link good for a certain period of time?
    Thanks for sharing your expertise!!

    Hoi Jody,
    as asked: just exchanged mij 27 Liter ( 0,264 gallon) Ar bottle which costed me 48 € or about 54 $ US. Quotes for Belgium ( Strombeek IJsfabriek )
    Keep up the good work and keep making those nice videos

  4. I’ve been thinking about making some sort of storage like that myself, although I hadn’t considered having caps on them. I like that. As it is, I have multiple bags of TIG rods (like a lot of guys do) just leaned up against the wall between my welding table. I just need to do it. Anyone have some spare time I can borrow? Nice video Jody.
