when i recieved my smiley combo, i noticed the plasma gun was of better quality than the older units, like csaddict owns. i ran a 75 foot 10/3 power cord out my back hatch under my deck and into my garage. tapping my drier plug.

overall it came out gangster, and petey was a huge help im pumped.

How much space do you have?

$88 at Lowes buys a 25X46" Kobalt worktable with two drawers and a bottom shelf for the welder to sit on. Just needs vise, and a skin of metal across the top. That's the way I'd have gone, in that respect.

the welding table i have there costed me 7 dollars.

and that was for the piece of sheet metal to go on top as the welding surface.

the leg of the welding table are 2 tv trays, i shot 3 3 inch screws into the studs in the wall and shes sturdy as ----. this i shmt right?

so for 2 benches and sheetmetal top. i payed a total of 36 dollars for the material to build both.

You're lucky if that's 250 sq ft.

Well, if you don't try to stockpile things (seven B18A/B, four D15/D16, four *cars*, etc) it will make adequate workspace, but you won't be able to do everything.

How long does that bottle last you? I have a 150 and it seems to go damn quick compared to my mix for the mig. I've only had me tig for 4 or so months now and I have been having to get a fresh one atleast once a month and I don't even use it that much. I always close the bottle when done, and there is still pressure in the line a day later so I am pretty sure it isn't aleak anywhere. I have been really considerring getting an even bigger one next trip, will just suck having to use a dolly to load and unload it. lol

Later
