Glenn from GA
User name is Depdog pretty much everywhere I go. I am in McDonough GA. I have been welding with Mig and Arc since high school. I can also oxy/acetylene weld and cut. Still have my old ancient electric AC Buzz box from Lincoln. Put a LOT of hours on it. Welded up everything from 1/2" plate down to the sheet metal floorboards of a friends old Mustang. Have had numerous migs of 110 and 220 configs. Even had a plasma cutter at one time. If you have not learned this yet, NEVER sell of tools because you end up buying them again!
Just ordered a Powertig 185 as it fits most of what I need. If I find myself needing more, I will probably sell it to a good friend and upgrade to the 200DX or 255.
This will be my first ever tig, I am very excited to get started welding and building again. I love to work with metal. Already got my argon, some filler rod for aluminum, steel, and stainless as well as built some nice rod holders out pvc and should have my $35.00 Harbor Freight cart here to modify on Monday. Welder is supposed to be here the 27th. I have had a nice Speedglass helmet sitting at home waiting patiently for the last 2 years. I picked it up at a local pawn show for a steal at $100.00
Looking forward to trying out a contest or two here if they keep them going.
Thanks
GlennV
