I think Dex gets more excited about going to get ice cream now than Sofia does, they always give us a pup cup full of whipped cream for him. Dude inhales it

Those aren't pajamas

 

Oh snap - is this your home setup?

 

Yep!

 

That's pretty epic. I'm not a good fabricator - I just like to weld. lol.

 

Had always wanted to weld, even talked about it in this thread.

Fast forward some years and I can do everything from home except oxyfuel or TIG aluminum; not cause I don't know how but because I don't have an AC TIG welder or oxyfuel setup.

Really useful, even just welding by itself so I always encourage people to do it when I can.

That is AWESOME.

I took a shop class in college that made us do it all - I fell in love with tig but our first setup was gas-less mig. I just got a tig setup with gas this past year and have gotten a little practice in -- though we keep hitting fire restrictions and the garage has too many projects to be welding in the garage atm. I'm no good but I enjoy it -- plus, a grinder and paint make up for the welder I ain't.

 

Your parents have shag carpet?

Nooooo

 

I can still smell the piss stained shag carpet in my grandmother's house growing up. Thankfully the house those memories occurred in was destroyed in 2007.

 

Might I suggest these



That's awesome though; I didn't get into it until I had a place to set everything up so I learned real late. But if you can TIG, every other process becomes easy really.

What machine you running? Couple of people have Miller's here, myself included, but my main setup is a PrimeWeld MP.

 

bwhaha - I love it.

Nothing fancy here - just a HF Vulcan 220 OmniPro -- enough to get most jobs done.

 

You're already ahead of the game by knowing and owning it!

I do a lot of side work locally, and a few occasional parts or signs here on the forum. Blows my mind just how clueless some people are.

And when I say clueless, I'm talking about the 5% that wants something made only to suggest "what I want to pay"

Material ain't cheap, and neither is labor.

 

I've about given up on people. I try to do as much of my own work fore everything as I can. Hubs unit is the same way - we make a good team.

I do need to finally put a head on this LOVELY thing though. lol. Stopped with the big fire restrictions last year -- it's been a headless greater near our front door since. lol.

 

A woman of culture, I see the Lincoln hood

Does your husband weld too?

I wanna get the kiddo to weld...but he's only 4 months old atm
