Great. I'm like yourself. I like pictures. It makes a thread more interesting and easier to understand. Glad you got something out of it and thanks for posting :thumbsup:

You have thousands of SS welding rods? Share the wealth! I bought 25 of them for a job once and walked funny after. Very expensive.

Yep you could use a brazing rod or a tig rod. I chose the welding rod because I have them in the thousands and will never get rid of them all. Tig filler rods are expensive so I save those for tigging :)

I was to an auction about five years ago and bid on a lot number. In that lot was some grinders, drills ... And about twenty five unopened cans of stainless steel welding rods. Thought it was a good deal for $125. :p

Ah, I missed the point that the rod was stainless. Never mind.

Not Navy. There boats are a little larger. This one belongs to the Department Of Fisheries.

nice tip, always handy to have a few more tricks up my sleeve.

what exactly is the application for the pins. they are nice but they seem kind of small to hold any weight

I suppose they are meant to be custom made cotter pins but I don't see a way to keep the pin from falling out.

I'll post photos of the completed job tomorrow but the holder and pin will keep a safety flag in place. I'll bend the pins a bit to cause a restriction to prevent them from comming out.
