    My mistake. You mentioned Argon tank and I assumed it was for aluminum welding with a spool gun. I apologize.

    If I were to build something the way I wanted it I'd probably be in it like $350-$400 just in materials. I bought 5' of 2x5 rectangle tube a couple weeks ago and it was $96.

    @mjbtaco what do you prefer to sharpen your tungsten with?

    At school I just used a grinding wheel/tool but at work they let us use a dedicated grinder.

    Same. I have never been a fan of the glass lenses.

    The BBW, SSBBW, Fupa, and MK, on the other hand, are worth it.

    I thought they were snake oil, honestly, until I broke down and tried them this winter. I am now a believer.

    I have a dedicated Milwuakee rotary tool with this attachment I found on Amazon. Works perfect and doesn't cost too much.

    Installed the first set today. Pretty similar to a DCLB Tacoma just more support and different leg/frame mounting positions

    We had something similar, but costing way more than that.

    Ordered thanks.

    Now to pick up that tool at Home Depot; they've got a free battery and charger thing going on so it looks like returning it will get me back $44 bucks.

    @mjbtaco this will be my first and only non-Fuel Milwaukee so hope it lasts! Bought it cause you recommended it :rofl:

    Just need to wait for the battery-charger combo to arrive so I can return them. Makes this a $54 tool after the refund.
