Hello all

Where to start....

Getting back to welding after a long drought mostly because I didn't have the space for or access to a machine.

Just built a shop at the house 36x40 and have a Fabricator 130 mig and an old Liquid Air buzz box for now. Looking to get some bigger equipment as time and the wallet allow.

Pretty much hate to pay anyone to do anything that I could do myself especially if I can get some new tools in the process.

I agree with you, That is probably why I have so many tools.

Re: Hello all

I just got the outside finished. Still have a lot of work to do inside though. I am going to zone the work areas out. I need to put in the t1-11 for the walls. electric is done for the most part just need to hook up a 220 for the old stick machine and one for the compressor. Total is 1440 sq ft in the shop and 480 sq ft for storage upstairs.
