Michael Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Been looking on Craigslist trying to find a cheap enough arc welder to help the smithing thing along a bit. Just found one on wednesday night, a Miller Thunderbolt 225V, looks to be about 1974 or 75 vintage. Came with 20 foot cables, rolling stand and a helmet, $50 for the whole thing. Now I just need to get 220 out to the patio, or figure out how to get away with welding in the kitchen close to the outlet for the electric stove. Finished an Art Welding class last year and stick welding really spoke to me. As soon as its up and running I have visions of a forge table I can weld my brake drum forge into and a nice big stand for the post vise. I'm sure some more welding project will come to mind. Michael-frightening the neighbors since the year four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I use an extension cord to the stove plug and keep the welder outside---makes my wife *much* happier and as she always tells me "You gotta sleep sometime"... Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
