where the hell did you get that?!?sweet! i'm thinking of getting the hobart 135 myself.is that one gas-shielded?

Home Depot. It's not my picture, but you get the idea. It does support the gas shielding. I just picked up the tank from CeeKay today. Damn tank was $75 plus the contents...Time to build the 550cc go kart!

Jesus, What the fuck were they thinking?

heh, i've seen that mask before..._4\/3have you welded before? i've got a few buddies and friends of friends who know how. i was pretty much going to pick their brains and just weld scrap until i learn it.

wow, that is uberl337 l33t speak. that should have read "L4M3"...the uprights don't worky.

handrail said...

hmmm...although, that is a pretty good deal from home depot....

I welded in highschool, shop class - good for an A! That was 11-12 years ago. We did a lot of arc/stick welding, a little MIG, once on a TIG unit, and once with a torch. I got it so that I can install T's catalytic conv. I need to practice for a week, then I believe that I should be ready to weld the pipes (off car).I just wish I had the cash for the Auto Dimming mask, but they're $100 min.

yeah, but apparently the auto-dimmers are the way to go. but yes, i think i can live with having to flip up a $20 mask and spend the extra $80 on sheet metal for the car.
