Might be time to get a new Tig chair.

Forgot to get a pic of this. Last week I was welding a base on a decorative aluminum spear point. Was turning it over with a pair of pliers and dropped it. Here is where it landed. Lots of smoke from the burning foam and lots of jumping from yours truly unassing the chair. If you cant fix it with a hammer, it must be an electrical problem."Boy, everyone starts with a full bag of luck and an empty bag of experience.

Reply:All that melted foam must have been a bitch to clean up to finish welding. I might get a chair someday, but I'm still young and stupid (mid 30s is still young, right?) and prefer standing while I weld.Lincoln Precision Tig 185Lincoln Power Mig 256Hypertherm PM 45Everlast 140STSmith O/A
