Thanks Richard, that is funny that it seems like the first thing most people weld up is a cart to hold their new welder. It's a bunch of fun to make. I felt like a real fabricator. lol
Kind of wish I was younger I think I could enjoy welding for a living. Probably the pro's will chime in and tell me it's tougher to make a living then you think. They're probably right to.
The part about controlling how you add the filler and the higher precision of tig is what got me looking into it. Some of the stuff I want to do is small and intricate and I'm hoping tig will be the way to go.
