Well today I acquired one of my first brand new major purchases. A Miller SquareWave 180 SD. I've just got it put together and my first couple of beads run. I'm in the big time now. Not cheap by any means, but I'm excited about all the new possibilities opened up to me.

very nice!

SHOCKING!

Nice!

I won't show you my welds. It's like kindergarden all over again.

I have two products of your welding abilities - exhaust bracket and that tow bar. both have good beads done. I bet you'll be outta kindergarten in no time!

MY-EYES!!!!!

What did it set you back?

Nice!!

Matt: Thanks for the kind words. Having experience with Oxy-Acetelyne welding is supposed to give me an advantage moving over to TIG.

Britain: Around $2 Gs. A good price, but a big hit in my current status of still trying to grow the business. Should pay for itself in the coming year.

Nice welder. I'm jealous (I thought my new 180amp lincoln mig was nice)

nice rig!

The MIG will still definitely be in use. The TIG will mostly be for the ultra heat sensitive projects like fender grafts and such. At least that's the plan. We'll see how it actually turns out. I might like TIG so much I'll use it much more than I expect.

I'm excited about doing some aluminum work. My first aluminum project will be an oil breather tank for Trekkor.

Did ya get my PM???

Yep. And I'm still thinking about it.

Ohhhhh.... we got two of those at work...... reeeeeallllly nice welds. Weird thing is it give a different sound. Nice tool!!
You will enjoy it. I think they are easier to use.

Giddyup!

Dammit, now you can weld more different kinds of metals than me.

Nice machine!!

If it's good enough for the boys at the OCC, then it's good enough for me.

Single phase, adaptive start. Very nice. Congratulations.

Oh BTW, i'm thinking of making this aluminum air intake.....
