Decided to up my welding game. Sold off the old tombstone stick welder, and got myself set up with a MIG/TIG/stick rig. Now, I can pretty much fix anything.

I had an old Forney tombstone a long long time ago.

I bought a 150 amp TIG machine that was needed more than anything else.

I have water and air cooled torches for it, small, medium and large. i use straight argon with it.

I then bought a Miller 250 amp MIG machine, that almost put me in the welding business.

The miller MIG takes up to 50 pound spools inside.

I was going through a 50 pound spool and 2 large tanks of C25 a week at one time doing fabrication.

Have two different size guns for it A Tweco #2 and a Bernard that takes .045" wire.

I wore out the Miller gun that came with the machine.

The piece of cake here is the 50 amp Plasma cutter.

I use the TIG the most, it is like a gas torch but with instant heat.

I found that once I went to the wire machine I would never go back to stick.

The TIG is the same way, hardly ever use the gas except for silver solder and brazing.

At one time with the TIG I could weld 2 paper clips together, really!

Have had both machines since 1975.

You wonder how you did without that wire machine, no voids and 75% less spatter.

Bought and installed a brand-new bar and chain on my Stihl chainsaw. Had some troubles on my last firewood adventure. No more problems. The 'ol saw is ready to rip it up again.

Fed Ex has been busy bringing my $35 + orders to my door.

Going through the food preps. I donated some slightly out of date can goods. The panty through them out, saying only in date cans are acceptable.

OK, I should eat the out of date can goods and donate my new stock? I don't think so.

You are foolish to throw out of date out, unless damaged or poorly stored. Use them up and rotate stock.

I have home canned stuff that is still fine and 10 years old.
