I have had my 175 for a year now, put about 10 bottles of gas through it. I like it, smooth operation, common consumables, and honestly over 15 years shopping there eastwood has never let me down. Before that I had a Hobart 140 and a lincoln 140 over the years. all great welders. For a...

^^^Thank you very much for the post, very informative.

I will have to look into that, I'm not much of a computer guy but I got a friend I will see if he can point me in the right direction. If I set him up with Sketchup up is it a good "learning" program to move on to the bigger more advanced CAD programs?

I would love to but that would be my toy! lol I live in the city and we are currently maxed out on storage space for large toys (mild prerunner ranger, sand rail, quad, 67 mustang, 56 caddy, f150 4x4 extended cab long bed, my company truck, and her daily driver) unless the wife unit lets me...

Great ideas guys! thanks I appreciate it! I think to get the ball rolling, I'm going to have him design and build a 4x8 work bench out of the 10x8 one that is taking up to much room in my shop. At that point I will free up some space for him and me. Add on to that go through my un used tool...

Ok guys here is the deal my nephew age 14 is huge into working with hands and getting dirty, yes proud uncle:D. Problem is I work out of town all week long so I am in need of low cost projects that he can do and work on to keep busy until I get home so we can work on the bigger projects...

Thanks for the information guys! Now with the correct name it made my google skills a lot better, thanks a bunch Larry! I am unsure if the photos show all the parts included in the deal here, I know he had to dismantle in order to move it out of his garage and on the back porch 6 months ago...

thanks that info will probably help out alot! Not sure on the table, but now that you mention it I see what your saying by looking back at the picture. I have not seen with my own eyes yet, just got the pictures texted to me and asking if I want them and a price. I'm currently trying to close...

Your correct and I should have made it clear in my post, I am reffering to an "attached garage" which in the area is most common. But I am curious if that does change per a seperate structure..... If they are still insuring that seperate structure and all the contents inside of it :-/

Yeah kind of my thoughts, between the small bottles of propane, full torch bottles, freon, race gas in the fuel cell, gas in weekend car, chemicals my garage the insurance adjuster would probably deny the whole claim:( But what am I suppose to do, build a underground concrete bunker to store...
