I didn't necessarily state it well, but that was actually my point - the corners seem like they would be the points that would crack, and without wire, if/when they do crack, the sides would fall...

Looks fantastic! I've been tempted to try some concrete tabletops, and I was envisioning a setup very similar to the mold you've build. Is there any sort of steel reinforcement in your planter? Or is...

I'd love to go to a good welding school. I'm certain that a good instructor could teach me so much faster than I could learn on my own, and with fewer mistakes (not to mention the material and argon...

Looks really nice. Could you post height/width/length dimensions and weight? Thanks!

I'm also brand new at TIG welding, and I agree - without having advice from the folks on here and from Jody at WT&T, I wouldn't even know where to start for settings.

My regulator (cheapy from...

I may be away from the computer the next few days, and don't want to forget to post this wrap-up before I leave. And since I'm not going to get to my 2nd project before then, I might as well do this...

So I got some steel - square tubing and some sheet to make a simple shelf (overkill for what it is, but an excuse to make some real-world TIG welds). 1" square tubing, 13ga, and 13ga sheet, using...

Oh, I'm not badmouthing this machine at all! I love it, and I like the chance to learn on a basic (but still very capable) welder. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but still does a great...

Nice review - you've been busy!

Part of me really wishes I'd chosen the PA160STH instead of the PA140ST that I ended up getting. My thought was that I'll get those nice features (post flow, HF...

Thanks. As it turns out, my welds aren't anywhere near that uniform on the first welded joints I tried. Stringer beads help with, but don't fully prepare you for real actual welds. I should probably...

The contest rules at the top of this thread say:


Did I misinterpret that? Or do only NEW Facebook likes count?

I was thinking exactly that - now nice it would be to be learning with a gas solenoid and HF start, plus how nice it would be to have pulse capability to keep the overall heat down for a given weld...

Today, the postman brought the last parts (correct-sized collets) I needed to start playing with the TIG functionality on my new toy. As expected, it turns out I do need some practice reliably...

Very cool. And nice touch with the Everlast forum in the background ;)

There was someone on here awhile ago that used the wire from a length of romex as a filler rod to TIG copper, which I intend...

Actually, I would think that the vacuum sealer would be more economical, depending on quantity of rods to be stored. The kitchen seal-a-meal types of machines are cheaper than the basic small rod...

Thanks Oleg - that clears it up! A bit of a shame for me (being in the US), though - the 200S shown above looks like exactly what I wanted - not quite as big as the 250S, but with all the bells,...

Nice! So if I order from Amazon or the Everlast eBay store, is this what I would get? Because this isn't what the photos show at this time, and the MTS200S is not even listed on Everlast's own site....

Interesting. I was researching the IMig models a bit, but this comment about the got me looking at the MTS models, which has me a bit confused.


The Everlast site shows the MTS200 and MTS250S,...

That website is the only reason I'm here. Jody is definitely a fantastic resource, and the only reason I heard of Everlast to begin with. Heck - I'd love it if Everlast just sent him machines to...

If you don't want to (or just forget to) go to Facebook, the same articles are available under the "Welders Blog" link at the bottom of the main Everlast page, under the "Articles" heading. That's...

What do you have the press sitting on? Rubber plates to cut down noise and vibration from the air/hydraulic jack? Considering how much weight you've added to the press assembly, and how high most...

I try to differentiate between inexpensive and cheap. Some stuff is inexpensive - doesn't cost a lot, works OK, not as nice as 'premium' alternatives, but is a bargain for what you pay. Other stuff...

The blue handled torch came with my machine. I was surprised that a 3/32" collet didn't come in the little consumable kit, though. Came with 2x 1/16" collets, a 5/64", and a 3/32" collet body. So I...

Do you have an estimate of what you'll end up with for a wheelbase or final total weight? And what kind of oomph does that 300ZX motor put out?

Are you designing and building the suspension parts...

I'm having trouble finding this in a search (either here on this forum, or via the Google machine), but how fast can I expect to go through collets and collet bodies? I just ordered a handful (4-5)...
