Reply:Shoot,Duane,don't want to stop a guy who's having so much fun with his own money. Just think how much fun it was for the AIG guys w/ OUR money. I know it came from the fed reserve,but guess who'll pick up the tab in the end.                                   MikeOl' Stonebreaker  "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes"Hobart G-213 portableMiller 175 migMiller thunderbolt ac/dc stick Victor O/A setupMakita chop saw

Reply:Duane congratulations,  I think you are going to be very happy with it, I have the same plasma cutter and really like it. Just about the same amount I paid for mine, I bought it used a while back.
Reply:Consider yourself stopped. Enjoy.

Reply:There is only one way to stop an addiction like that--Cold Turkey---which means you must pay for it but have it sent it to someone like me, then you'll realize what a Turkey you've been......Only problem is I don't have anywhere to fit it right now.

Reply:Originally Posted by Broccoli1The name came from my business partner, Declan: His friend from High School was in school for Graphic design and had to come up with a name for a Company and do the Corporate dealo of Letter head, logo etc etc. so Declan told him if he ever started a company he was going to use the name. Declan asked me what I thought and I said why the f**k not. The original logo was pretty weak but we got really lucky when a dood at a T-Shirt shop drew up the current one for free

Reply:Well the 350 showed up today!  Barely that is!  The seller packed the 55# machine in a light, single wall cardboard box full of foam peanuts and when it got here there was a gapping hole in the side where it tried to escape.  There was a trail of peanuts from where the UPS truck parked to the front door and who knows how many between here and California.  Fortunately the UPS folks were gentle and there were enough left to keep it from harming itself as it suffered no external damage.  Nothing rattling around inside so I didn't take the housing off to check any further.  I don't have the right three prong twist-lock recepticle to match the power cord so I didn't power it up tonight either.Below are photos of how it arrived (and that was all the protective packing there was) and how it looks.  Even came with pre-worn out consumables  although there is one new electrode.  Should have it up and running tomorrow after work.

Reply:Originally Posted by paweldorAh, the good old out-bid on ebay.  Here's what I do, if I really want something.  At the bottom of the ebay page is "Official ebay time".  I set my computer clock 10 seconds ahead of that.  When bidding on an item there are 2 ways to do so.  You'll place a bid, then "confirm" the bid.  Or, something new ebay started this year "one click bid".  I use the two step method.  While watching the clock for the "end time", I'll place my bid.  The "confirm bid" comes up.  I don't confirm until my clock is at the "end time" of the auction.  Remember, my clock is set 10 seconds ahead of the ebay clock.  By doing it this way it only give competing bidders a 10 second window to attempt to out-bid you.  I am usually succesful this way, UNLESS, the competing bidder already bid higher, or, is using the 5 second method Doing the above requires you to be at your computer when the auction ends.  If it's an item that would be nice to have, but I'm not too concerned whether I win or not, I'll place a bid using a figure I'd be willing to pay, and let the auto bid function take over.  If I win or lose it's o.k. Good Luck.BTW, Good buy on the plasma cutter.
