    Well, I drank the koolaid and got a bender and notcher on order. Just the manual JD2 model 32.

    I'm excited. I always wanted a hybrid bumper and my plate bumper wings are mangled. That will be the first project, second might be fender tubes, and third might be somehow making a "hybrid" style high clearance rear bumper out of my standard Pelfrey.

    I have to confess. I have not welded anything in over a month. Need a 220 plug at my new house and I might start doing some side work.
    Been taking it easy since I got laid off, collecting unemployment for the first time in my life, and sleeping till 7. Life ain't so bad.

    Have you heard anything about this notcher. I really didn't research much. I just ordered it because it wasn't the lowest model and also wasn't the most expensive either, and it was convenient for this to be shipped with the bender.

    I’ve never used it or heard much about it but it looks almost identical to my Eastwood notcher and it works GREAT! You’ll love it

    A co-worker overheard me telling another worker about my new welder and he gave me his auto-dark helmet and a sweet welding jacket!

    He used to work for a welding supply store but is now an accountant, lol. He said it hasn’t been used in 10 years. The date code is 2007. Still a sweet helmet! Just needs batteries.
