got my 210 ext yesterday so called in sick to go shopping at LWS.got the big argon tank,tungsten 2% lanthiated, 3/32 and 1/16. filler rod for steel and aluminum.forgot the numbers but the aluminum rod was 4043 i think.got those in 1/16 5lbs each.then to home depot to get bench grinder and some metal.all they had was 1/8th aluminum strip so i cut down to size.

set machine up at 90 amps 120 frequency 30% balance 1 sec pre and 2 sec post flow and used foot pedal which seemed to work ok i could hear and see difference when changing positions. so this is how i did. not to promising for the first time but i had fun. so any and all input welcome

thanks nick
