I couldn't think of anything to get your attention so that's what I typed!
So, hello to all on the forum. I have been heavily searching and researching this site and I am a little overwhelmed with how much information is on here. This forums is so useful, I love it!
I've had a panasonic 250 mig welder for a couple years and it's done fine for me. I decided it was time to go tig. So, I picked up a used Ltec heliarc 250hf squarewave with water cooled torch. It's a tank for sure! I picked it up to do an AL project. A collapsible rooftop deck for a 40ft car hauler. A larger tougher first project I guess. I figure if I can get good with AL I can do well with steel.
I actually took a welding coarse several years ago and it helped the learning process.
I'm 29, live near Boston, I work with race cars and run a production facility that makes racing harnesses. (6-point belts) I build the cars as well as race them. I came from a chassis shop where I helped build the cars from raw materials to complete racers. I loved that place... So much to do and learn. I never did finish weld there as the owner was the man for that job. I'd fab and tack for him to complete the welding.
So, I will be posting up some question very soon! I look forward to hearing from the wise ones here. I have much to learn.
Thanks and take care,
Tim Greneir
