My father's day gift.

[Shield Arc]

Got a new toy for father's day. Had to drive down to Vancouver Washington to the Lincoln distribution center to pick it up this morning.
My wife thinks I have a fetish for welders and tools. I disagree, what do you guys think? :laughing:
Vantage(R) 4 Engine Driven Welder (Perkins(R))

Can I borrow yours ??:laughing:

Picking your own gifts are the best gifts :thumbsup:

Went out to see if it would start. Started right up!:thumbsup: Did a little playing with it, just to see if it would weld.

Do you ever make ugly welds? Those look nice, I'm almost sick with jealousy, on several counts.

Oh yeah! I wasn't impressed with the 7018 welds. But I was in house slippers, and shorts, and afraid I would burn my feet!

You did better than I did. I have one of these coming Power MIG 21 MP & I guarantee that with me using it the welds won't look that good. :confused3:

I've read several posts over on Welding Web where guys really like those Lincoln Migs!

You say welder,
I see Rolls Royce. :thumbsup:

Well I suppose that with the new engine driven Vantage you don't need the SA200's anymore???

Tell the wife that it is better to have a fetish for welders and tools than for the other alternatives that society seems to be going for these days. Tell her to count her stars; she is lucky.
