Old Welding Turned Into Keeper Pin Or Metal Safety Clips

Old Welding Turned Into Keeper Pin Or Metal Safety Clips WELDERS/TORCHES Welders/Torches 27-2-36 Mark Condit, Duncan, Okla.: You can make use of old unused welding rods that have gotten wet or that are a size you don't use any more, by turning them into a keeper pin or metal safety clips, says Condit. First, break the flux off the rod. Then bend one complete loop around a sucker rod or piece of round stock held in a vise. Then make a hook on the two ends. Don't heat the rod at all or it'll take the temper out of the metal. Submitted by Dorothy Courtright, Temple, Okla.
