That's slicker than a sketers peter... always wanted to say that but some how never have until nowI like the skins behind the uh er wings.
I was thinking about adding something like that to mine actually. Very nice, wish I could lay beads like that.
Okay so I cheated a little...
Only picture I can find of mine from behind. Very similar to yours!
Nice man. Your 40x80 shop is it steel? Where did you get it from? Im looking to buy one asap.
How do you like the Hobart 190?Hi all,
I first learned ox-acetylene welding in 1981, but then never used the skill after leaving high school.
Got an old, used Lincoln "tombstone" AC 230V stick welder a few years ago, farted around a bit with it doing simple projects.
Last year bought a factory reconditioned Hobart Handler 190 MIG that I have added an argon/CO2 bottle. Been practicing off and on, working on improving my beads. Have some winter projects saved up.
Regards,
Alan
Ya I've been eye balling the Thermal machines for a while now. I would like to have a multi process machine as well. Can you tig weld as well?I've got a MillerMatic 175 MIG which has served me well, but my skills are getting to the point that I am finding the limits of what the welder is able to do. Most of what I am doing is 1/4" and the welder needs to be cranked to the max. The arc isn't as nice and stable as when its at the lower settings. I am thinking about either getting an Everlast AC/DC TIG/Stick machine or selling the miller and getting a ThermalArc 252i multi process TIG/MIG/Stick machine. My only issue with the ThermalArc is that ti does not have AC. But as I understand it you can still weld aluminum with DC, using helium and reversing the polarity.
Can you tig weld as well?
