Hey all, new to the site but not to welding! A short bit about me: Started welding up toys when I was about 9 years of age with dads red tombstone. Straight AC Lincoln welder. When he seen i was getting better at it he had me repairing gate panels. If a weld broke i had to grind and fix it till it stayed! Got bored so I went out and bought a shop built POS go-cart to fix up. Bought a clarke EN100 wire feed and did most of the work with that. I still have both.Several years ago while working for a construction firm I seen a Miler setting outside and ended up paying $200 for it. I fixed the broken connecting rod and got the engine running good, then repainted the skins and customized the control panel. I currently work for an outfit from South Carolina, but work mostly at Nucor in Norfolk Nebraska.  Current projects include a logsplitter, Custom bumpers, and a Farmhand F11 loader that always needs a crack or 2 welded up.I try not to restrict my abilities to one weld procces. Have gotten great results using Oxy-acet, stick, Mig, Tig, aaand yes even soldering!
