Got My Very First Welder

[Olli]

As the title says, I just got my very first welder. I've done welding before and biggest project so far was a utility trailer for my mobile sauna. My welder is cheap Praxair Prostar Avenger 140MP, and I've only welded a bike rack holder for my garage and window bars for the same garage. So far it seems to be working OK burning .030 wire and using Argon/CO2 shield gas. The window bars are angle iron and 1/2" square bar, and that little welder was doing surprisingly good. I'm hoping to try TIG welding maybe this winter.

Welcome to the pile.

Welcome! Sounds like you're well on your way. TIG is great and while it takes most folks some time to get comfortable, it's a very handy still to have!

Welcome! Dang G-Man I wish I had a still!
