You mean there's a comparable welder out there for half the price??? Better start the return process on mine now.I will not attempt to pollute up Scott's brand new toy by offering up a Chinee alternative,.....
But now that you mention it..

I can appreciate that you try to stay American when you make your purchase decisions. But try as you may to stay true blue, the fact of the matter is that there is already a significant amount of rice in your daily diet.You mean there's a comparable welder out there for half the price???

You know me, Mike. I don't buy Chinese turbos, so it's no surprise that I'm not buying a Chinese welder. Besides, the new Lincoln will match my MIG welder.

Looking good already . I was gonna tell you that thing is loud man .Threw down some welds on 1/8" aluminum last night. TIG welding is definitely challenging. I obviously have a long way to go, but this stuff is really fun. I need to build a table in the worst way. It's not easy welding on nothing but a vice. I dipped the tungsten 3 times. And for the record, the 150hz hum when welding aluminum is rather annoying.

It really is. I started welding on steel and it was so nice and pleasant. Then I switched to aluminum and jumped off the seat when I struck the arc. The arc walked across the sheet because I never lifted the foot pedal. Lol
Not sure they make a 'Murca version
Dang, this is one of the nicest build threads I've ever seen.
FWIW, you need a table of contents, I've been flipping through for half an hour and I still haven't gotten to the engine bay pics! (or gotten my jaw off the floor)
Very well done, amazing attention to detail
Went to a local scrap yard, got a piece of stainless steel scrap- they cut it down and charged me like 30 cents a pound. Also bought a section of channel and cut it into 4 legs.. Cost about $35 bucks lol
Meh,....tables of Content are a pain in the ass. I got all that time in mine,..and it is soo incomplete I never have the time to maintain it.
I was going to pull the trigger on one of those, but then decided I wanted a table that could also hold both my welders and tanks. Working on putting something together right now.

You da man! Highlights are a good idea. I can manage that.I stuffed a new post at the beginning of your thread in the case that you ever want to develop that. A full TOC is rarely necessary (threads can be searched) but highlight links might be good.
Welds are looking pretty nice, you've practiced a lot, haven't you?I have so much work to do on the car for Foxtoberfest, but all I want to do is play with this welder.
