    Default Jim from Midland, MI enjoying the new PowerPro 256.

    Hello
    I just wanted to say HI to everyone and I am loving my new welder. I have burned some stick through it but not got the Tig up and running yet. Still need to purchase an Argon gas cylinder yet. I built my own cooler for the Tig torch.

    Welcome Jim,

    Do you have your cart already? If not, are you building it as well as the cooler or just picking one up somewhere.

    Keep us posted.

    I really like that cooler you built, especially the way the connectors are mounted to the cart. I will be copying this idea

    Welcome Jim,
    Built your own cooler huh? That's great! I'm going to be buying a new Tig system myself soon but I think I'll probably be staying with a 200DX I rarely need any more power than that and I will be able to stay with an air cooled torch. The PowerPro 256 is a great looking unit ... Jody's been giving it some good reviews on weldingtipsandtricks.com as well. Happy welding and stay safe.

    Yeah, that's pretty cool. I like the cable management too. Keeps all of the spaghetti wires bundled up and tidy.
    Is it OK to want to break something just so that you can weld it back together?

    Welcome Jim. I'll echo the comments above and say that I really like the homebuilt cooler. I always felt that would be something that was fun and rewarding to build.
