Having an interest in Barndominiums and shops with living quarters I am always searching the threads on here. I came across an interesting article about Ivo Zdarsky, a man who lives in an airplane hangar on 400 acres in Utah. Interesting story about him escaping communist Czechoslovakia...

drivesitfar, check out the Hobart Ironman230. Great bang for the buck. I upgraded from a Miller 210 and I'm really happy with it.

I've have a Miller Elite Big Window AD helmet for about 11 years. I bought a Jackson Halo-X passive helmet and installed a #10 gold lens. Extremely light weight, great headgear and I find the the gold lens far superior. Best $50 bucks total I've spent for my welding. I have relegated the Miller...

Not sure if this video has been posted in the past (?) I've read the threads on garages with living quarters. This is a Dad & son living in a warehouse/shop in southern California (no mention of Mom). Only a quick view of the mezzanine living quarters, but still a cool video.

Check out YouTube for Miller videos on the Diversion...

I will add a vote for the Multitool. Good quality and kicks **** with my old 1/2 HP Craftsman.

I also have a Miller Diversion 165. :thumbup: Nice machine for what I do (sheet metal to 1/8", light tubing, brackets, etc.) so the duty cycle is tolerable. Miller Diversion 165 and the Hobart EZ TIG 165i are the same machine. The only difference is the the Hobart has a standard torch and...
