TMGT's shop build

[Big Barn]

Na, I don't have all that space you do for that monstrosity! Besides I'd have to hardwire it in, whats the input requirements, 100a breaker?

I like my little compact inverter that can run a 3/32 sharpened tunsten at 280a and still be pointed when I'm done!

100 amp minimum. Quite the power sucker.

Another inverter is best for you. Maybe a Dynasty 350. . $12k probably.

Yeah a 350 is on my list one day, but the 280 is great welder also and honestly I don't plan on doing a lot if large casting repairs. Oh and you know I can't afford new prices, so most likely a buy a used setup, can get one for probably half that.

Well after all this work, it looks like I might be moving

At least I should be able to build another shop that might be larger, but looks like I won't have 3phase so that will be a downgrade. Positive would be better location with a little more land, and best of all right down the street from my parents so the kids could walk over to their house.

Still trying to figure out what to do.

Exciting news!

Wow! Does the thread start over again at post #1?

Good luck with that decision! Family is important.

At some point I will be building a new shop, was about to put a deposit on a 40x60 red iron building but decided I would be putting the cart before the horse so to speak as I still have to close on the new property.

Will probably be over a year before I can add a new shop as material prices are ridiculously high and even if ordered now the shop wouldn't have been here until Nov.

At least there is an existing shop on the property, not as big/nice as my current shop, but should hold me off for a bit.

I currently maintain the property and love the view of the back yard.

Nice setting. Question, how did they handle the floor in the shop with the three doors and the tapered apron? Is there a step in the garage floor? Or is it a separate room? Jon

Far left bay is stepped down, not ideal but usable until I can build a larger shop.
