I just ordered a Lincoln Squarewave 200 today. It should be here early next week. I’m kind of like a kid waiting on a new toy...

That is a nice machine. I dont do enough TIG welding to justify even the machines I have now.

Heck, I have been doing that for years. All my kids have good jobs and dont need any handouts anyway. I am more concerned for my grandkids welfare which seems to be much harder for them to get started.

Well, this COVID thing sure has messed with delivery times! Welder arrived at my supplier last week, right after we had left to spend New Years with our daughter and family. I picked it up yesterday and got it unpacked. I burned a few stick rods to see if I really want to give my son my old tombstone I bought as a 16 year old kid. I was impressed, but only burned a few rods. Not getting in a hurry to get rid of a welder... I’m getting it set up now to do some TIG on mild steel now to see if I still have what it takes.
