I get the wire at my local welding supply house. A lot of times, it's the same price or lower than Harbor Freight and big box stores. A few days ago I was at Advance Auto Parts and a spool of wire there was unreal.

There seems like there is always a Lincoln buzz box on Facebook marketplace for $100-$150 and millers for $150-$200. Sometimes at estate sales you can find them. Person dies and family doesn't know what to do with the machine. I personally like the transformer machines. welding time seems longer...

Budget is a big thing but so is quality. Having a company close by with support and available parts is also. You will probably own a Tig machine the rest of your life so parts are important. This is just my two cents worth. Go to several welding supply shops near you. Get a price on Miller...

Nice C-5

Be advised that some motorcycle and Motorsports vehicles have chrome Molly frames.you will probably need to Tig them.

Ok , been a few years now but out of the blue I found an old picture of the same welder that you could barely see the numbers. Here is a picture if anyone else needs the information.

My son-in-law just installed a 2 1/2 ton Mitsubishi mini split in my new 900 square foot shop. I got the family price on the unit and line kit and installation was free. My cost on the unit and kit was $2000. He would not install any other brand and he is a Carrier dealer. My daughter has a 2...

The paint from Tractor Supply is real good. You have to paint as per instructions, it needs a day between coats.

Put one on my enclosed trailer. It is being used to contain the battery and controls for the winch. It is worth the money.

Mini split in yesterday. My son-in-law installed a 2.5 ton in the shop. It was 100+ with high humidity and it cooled the shop to 78 in less than a hour and a half. You can't even hear it running.

I have a vintage 140 amp. Westinghouse buzz box welder from the late 40,s or 50,s. It has 15 holes for the leads to be inserted. The numbers were not on the welder when I got it and I guessed at the numbers. I fell that I was accurate. I would like to know if anybody has one of these with the...

Real soon now. Shop is done with the exception of painting some trim and installing the 50 amp receptacles. Son in law is coming this weekend to install the mini split heat/A.C. and the hot water heater has not been installed. The house looks to be complete in 2 weeks. Landscaping done and 90%...
