Welders

[Shield Arc]

And if you don't have the skills, like me. You better spend way up in the thousands so the welder will do all the work for you. That's what I love about my Dynasty 300. The hardest part about getting welds like this, is finding the on switch!

You are so full of cr@p. You just say those things to get under my skin.

"Don't have the skills" indeed. Fishing for compliments again. :liar::applause:

Hahaha, we all know Sheild Arc has no skill, it shows in his work, that most of us wish we were "unskilled" enough to do.

Nope! Just being as honest as I can be. I'm no where close to being a Tig weldor. Now holding a gun attached to an LN-25 with self shielded flux core wire in it leaning back in a safety belt 2 to 300-feet in the air, I might give most members here a run for their money. But far as a Tig weldor, no way!
Come on, you belong to Welding Web too, you see what a real Tig weldor's welds look like!
I worked as a rigger a lot longer than I ever did as a weldor. I'd much ratter play with cranes than welding machines. But I can't afford a crane, wouldn't know how to run it if I had one. I was the guy with his hand in the air, or on the radio telling the operator of the crane what to do.

Thank you! You're embarrassing me.

Well Shield, you might be a lousy TIG welder, but I aspire to be as "lousy" as you are some day.

Thank you too!
I get by, but I couldn't make a living at it.

That's how I feel about my welding skills. I do alright getting stuff to stick together and stay together, but I would never consider myself a "welder". It's just one of the skills I need as an equipment mechanic.

To OP: What type of welding experience do you have? If not much, you might check into a local community college or tech school & take a welding course that will teach you the basics of TIG welding. This will help you familiarize with the equipment needed for TIG welding so you can make an informed choice. This is especially important if buying used equipment. You may also chose to purchase one used on condition you can return it if after taking it to a welding supplier to have it checked out, it is found to be unserviceable or cost prohibitive to repair.

I recently did this with a Miller 35 MIG welder I found for $150. At the same time I was able to pick-up the accessories I needed to put the welder in use when I got home. (CO2/Argon bottle & regulator, it had a CO2 regulator, spool of wire, anti-splatter dip, spare tips.) I also had a crimped on connector added to replace the hose barb / hose clamp connection that was going to the regulator. The inspection was free & I had piece of mind with my purchase. (I haven't used a MIG welder in over 15 years - It came right back.)

Being able to make a well informed choice will help insure you will be satisfied with your purchase down the road.
