Wierburner,
I do shop work, no portable (yet). I have a regular 40+ hour/week job. I am in charge of maintenance at a factory. I weld, fabricate actually, on the side. The first half of this year I made more than the 40 hr job. This half of the year has been kind of slow. I am not complianing as I need to get the new shop built soon. Som of the equipment I have:
syncrowave 350lx tig
aircrafter330 tig
hobart handler130 mig
esab svi 450 with wire feeder
thermal dynamics cutmaster 51 plama cutter
marathon 300mm cold saw
bandsaws
compressor,blast cabinet etc...

My little 2 car garage is very full with the welding table in the center. Which is why the shop needs to go up soon.
I have never been on a post board before, I am sure I will be asking lots of questions.
Tim.

well ohhhhhhhhh, i only have a lincoln 3200hd & building a coal forge & getting a 80 cu. ft. gas cylinder thursday & fixing to buy a bandsaw

[tnjind]

Thats cool,
My buddy (20 yrs older then me, i'm 39, best friend you will ever meet) he has a small forge shop. I learned alot from him. I am in no means a forger. That takes a life time.

Keep at it.
PS. I did not mean to sound conceded. i was only trying to let people know what I have going on.

Tim,

No conceit (or arrogance for that matter) noted. Very nice of you to let us know your background. Now we have a rough idea of your skill level and experience. Should speed things up answering any questions you may have by not having to go to square 1. Oh, before I forget - Welcome. Contribute often. We love answering questions. Just be prepared for guys giving you answers from many different perspectives.

Later,
Jason

Thanks Jason, I mean that.
I am that last person that would be called arrogent by anyone that knows me in person. If you all meet me in person I am a "redneck" that like to do things right to the best of my ability. My typying skills, spelling also, I noticed is not the best. My wording is kinda short for that reason.
I take any and all info in, and file it all.
This is a great learning area.
Thanks to everyone.

PS. you sound like alot like me (from previous posts,I looked at all of them), in person I also say what I think, will help anybody that I can. Boyscout thing.
Never was one but idea is sound.
Great info, Thanks. Tim
