This is why you get the cash in hand first, then look, LMAO
Take your time, save the money, and get the best welder you can. It will pay off in the end...Millers hold their value, and if I ever sold mine, I'm sure I'll get close to what I put in it, because I was patient and smart about it. The welders listed are all good machines, but my experience has been the Millers just last and parts are easy to get. Any of the welders listed will do a decent job. Just get the one best suited to your needs.
I also go by this advice about saving and buying a GOOD one.Hey, hate to go off topic but you still liking the Esab helmet? Thinking about getting one but I read that one review where they had the lens warp due to heat.

Use it daily and love it more each day.
If that coverglass warped due to heat, then that idiot needs to get his face out of the arc...
Hey folks, long time since I’ve been active on the board, but pretty psyched to be back. Was pretty active on the Facebook page for a while and a couple fab pages but I had to delete Facebook recently in order to keep my sanity. Anyway, just wanted to share my little home shop setup. I’ve done a few cool projects on the jeep since I got this welder a couple years ago, I’ll post those up another time.
My first setup was an HTP versa mig. My buddy was moving to japan and cleaning out his garage and sold me an HTP versa mig that needed some work, a bottle and regulator, a bunch of wire, a junky chop saw and a junky miter saw all for $75. Mega score. Both saws have abrasive metal blades on em and are still functioning a few years later too. I didn’t know **** about the versa mig, and sold it for like $75 when I got the Lincoln. I should have kept it and fixed it up. Apparently they were really great sheetmetal and body work welders.
This what I have now. 110v Lincoln Handymig. My folks randomly bought this for me a couple years ago as a Christmas present. Pretty cheap and Only runs to about 90amps but it’s got metal drIve rollers, a decent gun and it lays a nice bead, especially in the 12g-18g range. It’ll do 10g if you bevel well but the duty cycle starts to be an issue at that point. Overall I like it, but a bigger setup is in the works.
Got this cart from my pops for free. I don’t even know if it’s actually a welding cart, but it is now haha. Got a few little mods I’d like to do on it soon.
Got this Strong Hand welding table recently. Paid the cost of one 6 pack of beer for it. Another mega score. Came with this little fixture kit. Couple clamps, some magnets. Super pumped for this table. My buddy ordered this table from StringHand. Box showed up on his porch with a corner torn off and one of the legs bent a little bit. He had them send a new one, which they did, but they wanted him to take it back to the UPS facility. He told them to come pick it up. Long story short, eventually they gave up bickering with him and he had two tables. He wasted a bunch of time and headache in the end, because the table was basically fine. Fixed the leg in about 10 minutes. Main surface doesn’t have a scratch. Anyway, he just gave it to me cause it was taking up space. Heck yeah
Sorry for the novel lol, but I’m psyched to be back on the forums again. I’ll share some weld pics and a few of the little projects I’ve done on the jeep. Cheers
I just picked up the same table and added it as a "wing" to one of my roll around bench/cabinets. It's hinged at the top and can drop down when I need extra floor space … which is often.

I’m building a little cargo divider for the hatch area. My dog sleeps in the hatch when we go camping and for some reason she prefers to sleep on the driver’s seat. She’s usually wet or dirty or both, so somethings gotta change.
Anyway, got the basic frame cut and tacked up tonight. First time using this little table and I already love it. The divider is only going to be from the top of the seat back to the ceiling. That way I can lay the seat down and still be able to slide long stuff in there. I’ll post up some updates
Hello all. This is my first post here so before I start asking questions I thought I'd start off here, a very relevant thread for the start of my Jeeps journey back onto the roads. After seeing a few pictures throughout this thread I may have gotten lucky that it was not worse but 7 years standing does start to eat away.
So far it's had both front footwells, both under rear seat corner areas, both rear boot corners, chunk on each outer sill, O/S (UK) rear wheel arch lower inner and outer, top of windscreen and still has bits I want to get around to doing.
Holy moly. That’s some dedication right there. Is it that hard to buy a new shell?
If it needed a new shell it wouldn't be on the road for me, I'd still be in my more fuel efficient Fiesta that was bending its subframe on a dirt track when I go away. Over here though there aren't a great deal of them about in the scheme of things. There was one that I was amazed to see in a scrap yard which gave me the bits to fix my aircon but the next time I went they'd completely scrapped it.
