You're going to have fun.

Im holding off on the tank and such..especially until after I get a proper size / styled cart built. Im going to get some more "practice" in this week using the ,030 flux cored wire...just welding some angle stuff together to lay a bead.
Im so new..I am not even allowed to stand in the same bldg with a "pro"...lol...but Im amazed how ..IF..IF I do my end of it right...how easy it actually is. Had I known..Id have bought one 20 years ago...Im dead serious!
Once I get "better" ( notice I didnt say GOOD...lol) I'll get some gas and some FINE wire and work on some thin stuff...cause I found out that even with the proper speed and amp setting...I can burn a hole right thru thin gauge tubing (with .030 flux core) like..BZZZT! ...that quick...lol
