just realized something (duh) i should just sharpen a batch of like 5 electrodes at once so i can stop jumping back and forth having to resharpen 

since i don't have a good welding table i'm constantly dipping the electrode 

 @woodland creature :pleroma_fox_tan:  My welder friend takes a pack of em and cuts them in the middle in half with a bench grinder.  So has like 20 ready to go when he gets new ones.
