[QUOTE="Steph Boeker, post: 500146, member: 32953"] This was a very inspiring testament. Thanks for sharing. This is the idea behind me purchasing a mig welder a couple weeks ago. I was lucky and got the Lincoln 180i , brand new , still in the box w/ the tape seal unbroken for $500. cash. I did purchase a teflon liner and had no trouble changing it out. I have it set up w/ an .035 contact tip for running .030 , 5356 wire (slightly stiffer than 4043). I've never welded before but when I had a local welder ad a pcs of 1-1/2" angle to my transom and saw the big ars bubble looking string of welds he arc welded on it. I sanded it down w/ my belt sander and it came out really looking fine. I figured I could do as good as that myself and must have watched the same YouTube video's a you for old school mig welding w/out a spool gun. Unfortunately, I'm waiting on my new bottle to return filled w/Argon on Thursday before I can try my had at it. But I'm very happy to have heard your advice. It's been a confidence builder in a sea of caution from just about everyone around here. The job you did on your corner looks wonderful. Thanks again, Sincerely ...................... [/QUOTE]
