Hello from Minnesota!

[Johnson]

Hey everone! I've been around this forum doing some reading here and there for the past year or so. Decided to join the team I've been using the 185 Micro for a year and a half and it's worked out great. Oleg sold me the machine and Mark has helped out with some questions I had. Good company and glad I found them.

I attend MCTC and ST.Paul college studing fabrication and welding. I am 3G 7018 certified but mostly use GTAW for making things.

I like airplanes, classic trucks (60's and older), guitars, tubes amps, music, biking, photography, video production, skiing and fixing houses.....probably a lot more

Hope I can meet some cool people on here and get and offer advise from time to time. I'm selling my 185 and buying a 250ex this month, which is a huge step up for me. Glad to be here and thanks - RJ

Welcome, Fellow Minnesotan! If you want to give a 250EX a real live test, you're welcome to swing by my shop on any Saturday or Sunday. I've had mine for just over a year and REALLY like it. PM me for contact info. and we can talk.

Welcome to the board and I'm sure you'll find a lot of support here. That's a nice welder your eyeing. If you're doing a lot of tig then that's an easy decision isn't it. I like the brute power of stick but will need some more control and speed over the process. A mig setup is an option for myself sometime if the future.

Anyways, cheers and post some projects!
