I’ve done alot of work for this guy. We have a great relationship, based on mutual trust, give and take.
He has a device attached to his heart now and can’t go near stuff like this anymore.
He’s been after me to take it for a while……….I’m more of a giver kinda person, but I finally gave in.
Now with the compressor I’m getting from PaulB, I hookin up big time!!
It’s nice to know generous folks.
Someone tell me about why ac welders aren’t as good as dc.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet ;) have a blast with it. I know very little about welding but it's sure fun. Sparks, noise, smoke... what's not to love?
With that compressor and welder..............are you thinking of going into the body shop buisness? <G>
Good score(s)!

No, but I do enough 'tinkerin' with all sorts of stuff. Cars, tractors, boats...........it never ends!
Now I'll just be better equipped.
So. now equiped with the compressor, air tools go on the list. Nice 3/8 drive air ratchet, chisel perhaps?? Sure my brothers got a 1/2 impact gun extra..........
Hey, Paul just did his part to keep the economy going. It's gonna come back at him sooner or later!

I've really been wanting one of those little MIG welders. Rented one last summer to fix my trailer and sure enjoyed it. Could see where it would really be handy to have.

Mine just gave me a ride to see a project he's admired for a while. Aston Martin DB7.My DW had to presoak the drool off my carharts. My dance card is booked thru summer now.

Unless you weld better than I do, they are. My first large project, the roof here, I borrowed a large portable welder. Tried AC, DC, +, -. All seemed the same to me. No longer remember which rod I used. Some rods are specific to DC.
I'm welding a whole lot better now but haven't felt any need to change from an AC welder. Friend told me I was making gorilla welds, strong and ugly. With practice they got a whole lot better looking. Mig solved the light steel situation, but I rarely use it.
Congratulations.
