Just wanted to say I did get the Yes welder up and running this week. Some practicing and a handful of YouTube videos have been reviewed has been the last few days Main topic. It’s a dc only machine so no aluminum. Currently practicing with 1/8” wall rectangle tube 1x3 Argon Gas at 15cfm Amps...

Well, I got my tungsten and filler rods in the mail. I have the standard regulator on my Mig and little oxygen acetylene setup but this Tig welder calls for a flow meter. I’m off to find one of those as I remember that is supposed to be better than a regulator anyway for mig.

We went last year (2019) to see a musical Rockettes Christmas per our daughter’s invitation. Train ride down and back. First ever experience for me. Enjoyed it with my 6 yr old granddaughter. I’ve been a couple of times but I also didn’t lose anything there that I need to go back and get.

Thanks for the tip on being able to use pure argon. I had thought I had read that somewhere but couldn’t find it again. I’ll order some purple electrodes also per your recommendation.

I picked up a small inverter Yes Welder a few months ago in trade that does Tig and stick. It’s the Tig-205DS. What size bottle do you guys recommend to get with it? I have 2 bottles of 40 cf of C25 and a smaller 20cf bottle of pure argon for my spoolgun with aluminum. But internet says I need...

I managed to weld one of my wife’s little cart’s caster wheels back in place. It has the nut inserts in 1” tubing and the inserts get pulled out. This is the second wheel I’ve did on it. Felt good to get the mig out for a few minutes. Been cleaning and reorganizing the 2nd floor of my shop the...

Good idea to try. I have a tip that I traded out on my Hypertherm plasma cutter that is pitted and the pilot arc won’t start with it. Things are so expensive, you have to get what you can out of them. Back to the thread. I run a wood stove that keeps humidity down. I think I’ll move my extra...

I drug home a wood splitter with a bent tongue and the pivot hinge and jack ripped loose. Guy said he had loaned it to an in law. Spent an enjoyable afternoon out in the shop with radio and wood stove cutting the bad pieces out with my Hypertherm air 30 and cordless grinders. Then welding in...

I had to mig some duct work together ( kinda like inside of a pipe) last night and was catching hell from the shop light above and behind me no matter which way I adjusted everything. I took a towel and draped it over my helmet and head/neck and it made a difference I would never have believed...

I have found the walk the plank 5 gallon bucket mouse trap baited with peanut butter to be better than anything so far. https://woodgears.ca/farm/build_trap.html

Looking for input. I am building a porch in my place and want to incorporate a door over my steps going down to basement underneath the floor. The old cover is made of 2x 10s, 3/4 plywood, tarpaper, and shingles. It is a heavy monster to open. I’d like to do something like this. But homemade...

I’ll have a few me year old Hobart MVP210 that has been flawless. I’ve been offered a Miller matic 200 without the tig torch or pedal for 1200. It has been taken care of and home hobbyist kind of use. Is this a decent upgrade from my Hobart and selling my welder? I have sold both my stick...

I had to make a couple of wall brackets for a mini split installation yesterday. Drug out the Hobart MVP210 and Hypertherm PowerMax 30 and Speedglas helmet. All on a cheap harbor freight cart. Going to be a quick job so out on edge of concrete floor of garage by the door. It had been a month...

I’ll look at that. I already have a small bottle of straight argon with my Hobart MVP210 mig for aluminum. I also have a hypertherm air30 plasma cutter. I want to keep the capability to use 110 but still have a quality machine is my end goal.

Thanks for the tip. I’m on the way to the website.
