Absolutely awesome build!
Really neat. I have an urge to ratrod a VW so badly. It looks like you do good work too.
I've got it cleaned and my new hose showed up yesterday. I just need to get some more coolant and I'll be set! Thanks a lot for the help.
Will do, I was planning to change the fluid anyways. Is there any specific kind of fluid I should be using? (Bernard cooler) The guy I got it from had an empty bottle of Miller coolant sitting on it...
Pretty sure it's a weldcraft torch. I hadn't taken the sleeve off and inspected the cables, so it could have been there when I got the machine. It didn't leak immediately, it started after maybe 15...
So I started playing with my tig the other day. I got to use it for about 20 minutes until I noticed a puddle of liquid on the floor. One of my hoses had a hole in it. When we pulled the sleeving we...
That's awesome, I've never seen one of those before. New toy, do want!
Good idea! That had never occurred to me!
Nice to see it was just a gas issue and not a machine issue. I just bought a 125cf Argon Tank on Tuesday. Looking forward to playing with the TIG.
Good looking cart build. I really like how it looks. What size cylinder are you going to be using with it?
I bought 1 for me and 1 for my wife. We're both planning to take the beginners welding class next year so she needed her own helmet. There's a deal going on right now for rebates on some of the 3M...
I've got some old bedframes and a bakers rack shelf I'm going to use for a bench. I just need some time to cut the metal and assemble it.
I treat Northern like I treat Harbor Freight for the most part. Summit is awesome, when I lived in GA and was doing a lot of racing it was like a trip to the promised land when we went into the...
Good to know, I'll be taking the beginners course next semester. I intend to take all the courses and get all the certs they offer. I'm an IT guy currently and I'm not looking to change careers right...
I intend to start doing that very soon. Have to get a welding station set up first.
Nice buy! I want one of those pretty badly but the wife flat out said no. Looks like I'll be building a table soon out of old bed frames and a bakers rack shelf until I can convince her I "Need" a...
Ended up working an extra shift yesterday so I didn't get home until really late. I'm hoping to check it out tonight.
That looks really neat. Are you planning on keeping all of your supplies on it? It looks pretty big for just the welder/cooler.
Not yet, soon I hope. If someone buys the Hobart then I'll get a new Everlast machine. Otherwise I'm stuck saving my pennies for one.
This is the only pic I have that shows the regulator and of course it's facing away...

To me it looks like that's been bypassed and it just runs to the torch directly. I can get some pictures later.
I bought my filler from these guys on eBay. http://stores.ebay.com/arczoneweldingsupplies/ It seemed like the cheapest way to go. I think I bought my tungsten from weldingcity. I didn't see it on...
So I got my first TIG last weekend. It came with a few consumables, but I needed a few more. I started looking online and I was absolutely floored at the prices! I ended up ordering a consumables kit...
I need to get some arc time with the WP-20 and see if I like that or if I want to try other torches. I'm just waiting on new helmets and consumables to show up.
I figured I would ask, when creating my account I guess I hit the maximum character limit. Is there any way I can get another "o" on the end of my name? My shop is Breakneckmoto, it's not a big deal...
