Good luck hope it all goes well!

yep already bought a couple cans. Got a nice mask, some quality gloves, and a few clamps and other things. With the 80cu.ft. bottle of 75/25 and little cart, I came in just under the 1k I had to spend. (got enough left over to buy some test stock and some wire) So this weekend Im gonna set me up a place to work and get busy. I was joking with my sister and telling her since I got the first batch o'Wings out the door I was gonna take the weekend off....and by taking it off I mean, Im gonna spend 15-20 hours welding LOL!

Anyway, thanks for all the advice on this thread, now I get to learn a new skill...YAYYY!

Congrats! I have the 110V version of that welder and it works great. Less versatile than industrial grade rigs but it works great for what I have used it for. Some formal training will help for sure but like IJ said it's all about practice.

Good luck hope it all goes well!

Same here. Even doing the same weld over and over for days on end is much better than sitting in front of a puter all day long scheduling and tracking production....
