Hello to everyone from beautiful (and wet) Beaverton Oregon.

This my first post on this forum.

I am considering the purchase of my first welder, a brand new Power Pro 205. Also looking at Miller and Lincoln.

I will be using my welder to build EV's like e-power bike trailers and fast inline recumbents. I'm also interested in combining metal art with woodworking to create gallery quality art pieces.

I was a Sr. Mechanical Engineer before retirement. I worked in the areas of Charged particle science and microscopy and automated production machine design.

My other interests include: Fine Woodworking and Woodturning, Audio gear, Motorcycles (last bike was a BMW R1200C), and most kinds of technology.


I'm looking forward to your help with my new adventures in welding....thanks...kunk
