Leaving to go watch grandkids open presents!

Hope ALL of you have a super Christmas and find the joy and peace that
comes with the season. Don't
forget to give the Salvation Army collection man/lady a few bucks to
get themselves a nice dinner
somewhere. Oh, and put some money in the bucket too!

Thanks
I hope everyone had a great Christmas.
The kids were all here and we had lots of fun, ate too much and
engaged in the total commitment to stimulate the economy.
The wrapping paper alone would heat the house of a 3d worlder for a
couple days.
Watta country!
70s and sunny so we got out for an evening boat ride after the kids
left

Nice... spent the day with my girls, got a flux core, wire feed, welder
so I guess it's time for me and Jess to learn a new art

I have a little Lincoln 100a (used/free from a friend) but I still
have not done a lot with it. I played with it a little and it crapped
out. Something went wrong in the wire guide of the lead. I never took
the time to get the wire free. I think that is why I ended up with it.
I keep promising myself I am going to buy the MIG conversion kit that
replaces all of that stuff along with a gas feed but I haven't seen
the need yet. I still have my old stick box.
I really want a TIG.

I have the Lincoln 180c with a spool gun, so I also do aluminum. I do art
welding as a hobby, and want both a TIG and a plasma cutter added to the
arsenal. The Lincoln does both MIG and also flux core. Most of the steel
I do is flux core, and use my old AIRCO stick welder for stainless and
heavy steel.
