In truth, my interest in welding came from watching TLC's Junkyard Wars and I have been inspired by some of the outrageous inventions that people can make in just ten hours, out of scrap no less! Although my immediate shop needs don't require any welding, it is good to know that when I want to start making car repairs or boat trailers and the like, I'll have the machine for the job. Meanwhile, I'm having fun learning to make good welds with scraps.
So far I haven't had much time to devote to this part of my metalworking madness. Thus I won't be able to provide any experiences or recommendations on this tool. Maybe more later.
