I figured I would be sociable and say Hello to everyone on here, after all, it is Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to getting the 160STH welder that I ordered early this month. Like many others on here, I learned to gas weld and arc weld in high school (14 years ago) and I did a lot of MIG welding at home using my father's Miller Sidekick during those years as well. I then moved onto getting MIG and Stick (limited all position) structural certifications and learning TIG welding at the local Junior college (right out of high school). In 2004 I became a Union Sheet Metal Worker and served my 5 year apprenticeship, before going onto disability for health issues. While I can't do all the things I once could, I still enjoy welding, metal fabrication, working on old cars, and sewing (time and health permitting of course). I have a ton of little projects I'd love to build, as well as a few I still need to finish, and I'm hoping this winter will give a chance to do that. Only time will tell....
