Pennsyltuckian here
I wanted to post up on the forums and introduce myself as one of the newest Everlast owners before posting up some reviews and project pics of my own. Well, I lied a little.....I'm almost a new owner, but I did place an order this past Monday with Alex and am waiting for DHL to be paying a special visit to Eastern PA.
I've been welding for about 5 years now, my first welder purchased from my later-to-be boss, a Lincoln Precision Tig 185. He was outgrowing the capabilities of that welder for his business and I was just learning the possibilities of what melting two pieces of metal could lead to. Being a DIY kind of person, part in due to learning ways to modify my turbo-charged car myself, I felt welding was the next skill I'd like to check off on my to-do list.
My PT 185 lasted until 2007 where I ended up selling it since I had access to the welders at work for whatever I needed. These include a Lincoln PT275, PT375, PT225, Miller Dynasty 350, and two Lincoln migs (a 140 and 255). I did still have my Lincoln Mig 175, horizontal bandsaw, small HF press, and a bunch of other tools, but it wasn't until recently that I needed a tig at home again due to family time limiting me from staying extra at work.
I have some art projects I want to take care of and don't feel the mig would give the quality and results I'm looking for, so tig was the only option. Stumbling across the multi-process units was a definite win for me as I really could use the plasma for cutting out the stainless, and the foot pedal for the heat control. I'm extremely excited to receive my PowerMaster205 and see how it compares to what I'm using now.
Anyways, sorry for the rambling. Here's some pics of work I've done on my personal drag car toy.

) to start saving up for moving and a house down the road. I do have plans to redo the build again with a much smaller turbo but also going auto and begin playing around with some E85 instead of VP Q16 ($$$$). That's a while aways though.
