I bought my cord today. 50 foot, lighted ends, a three wire 8 gauge, not the 3x6guage 1x8 that I wanted, but it was there, it was done, and it was $138. I need to build a dongle for the 4 slot plug on my wall to adapt. I'm going to just put the 50footer directly on to the unit and use the cut end for part of my dongle.

Checked on a tank today, a couple of options.
I buy the tank, keep the receipt, and they buy it back when I'm done....
I have a 240cf oxygen tank I got at auction for $15 and they will swap it for an argon tank same or smaller straight across. They do their own visuals and hydros so it's not a problem.


Compressor and line is ready to go, I screwed around and haven't built/bought a cooler yet. I have a dozen or so pumps laying around I guess I'll do that tomorrow.
My first weld since 1972 [highschool freshman stick weld class] is eminent. I mistakenly bought stainless rod, I'll get the aluminum tomorrow.
