Thanks for the support.
I came across this welder on Saturday, and couldn't resist.

Not too bad for a rookie .... glad to see you sharpening up your skills .... I really enjoyed your comment about 3/8" being sheetmetal!!!
Of all the jobs and all the places which one is the one that just sticks out in your mind?

Did you use backing gas when you tig welded the tank? What filler rod? Very eye pleasing!
How is your lathe project progressing?

Yeah, us hobbyist need all the practice we can get.
No backing gas, if it was stainless steel I would have purge the tank.
I used 1/16-inch E80S filler. I welded the outside first, of the bottom, sides, and ends. Then welded the inside. I just welded the outside of the top. I really lucked out, not one leak!

Mysfyt, at this point I don't know. I can phone Miller Support with the serial number to see if it was installed at the factory. If not I'll have to take a look inside and compare with a parts diagram to see if it was installed later.
