Had just enough for a new phone when my welder quit in the middle of a job. Had to buy a new welder. Its taking a little getting used to. Its all automated and ****.

Looks pretty!
I use a small 110 Hobart and good enough for me. Still trying to figure out my phone, damn thing is smarter than me and pisses me off.
I laughed at that one Fred. Hobarts are plenty good. My last employer had them. I like the start-up of the lincolns better but we are splitting hairs here. My last welder didn't owe me anything, that's for sure. I wanted a little more oomph this time. This baby will do 3/8 in one pass in the 220 mode. Its just weird not having dials with numbers on them.
All my kids and grand kids but missing 3 grand kids. Tell your wife we will be over for dinner and we like Prime Rib. That should freak her out BP.
Not cheep I like a Lincoln and would have one but got mine slightly used for 150 bucks so it will do.
Wow. Just WOW. We like prime rib too. Too bad we suck at cooking it. You can take us out for it.
Is that your wife next to you? Good looking family ya got the Fred. I'm sure I don't have to tell you to be proud.
Crazy for me to say this and I can't believe I am. It's a good write off.

Not my wife she died about 15 years before this picture. I never remarried and plan on keeping it that way.
For sure BP I do the same thing.
I guess I should let you know this picture was taken last year. My daughter in-law likes black and white photos. lol I am 61 in this photo.
Its a little fuzzy for me. Its all good.
Wholly crap you guys were busy today , all I got is it’s gonna be cold -3 tonight +3 during the day no rain is a positive , I need to buy a wire feed , what diameter wire are you guys using on ,the body panels ?
Well galdangit, Jeff got us started on the whiskey at like 3:00 my time. HA
.023 or so on the wire for sheet metal. Different manufacturer's vary a little. Tips too.
I like using .030 tips with .024 ish wire.

Whiskey badddd....
Lincoln just changed out to metric threads on their tips. Pretty sure I just bought a life time supply for like 12 bucks.
Over consumption bad. Moderation... gooood.
Haven’t drank for 30 years ....I have no off switch sooo stoping was safer
Is that the one I want ?
Yup. .030 is tough on thin metal. Doable with skill and leaves room for heavier welding.
Yup.
That Hobart that Fred has is a good machine.
I was looking at the millermatic 180 220v ?
