I just bought an everlast power pro 205s about a month ago and here is a link to a post below. http://forum.weldingtipsandtricks.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4687 I cant speak as to how well these machines will hold up or how well tech support is,(havent had any issues yet) but it has a very smooth a...

I just started to tig about a month ago when i bought an everlast 205s. Although I cant speak for how long this unit will last I can tell you it has a very smooth arc & very easy to set and control once you understand what each knob does. So from your comments I'm guessing that it seems to be go...

in the first pic I think my welds are starting to look a lilttle better. The second pic is the back side, and I dont know if thats how it is supposed to look or if I just used too much heat. I am finally getting to the point where I can see the etching zone and see when things are starting to go wro...

Thanks, its only about a total of 4 hours practice I just don't have a lot of time right now, I'm in the process of building my dream shop 24' x 45' and it is taking a lot of my time. And as far as using the pedal you are right its like chewing gum, walking, and rubbing your head at the same time! B...

Well from the photos it should be obvious where i started. I want to say tanks to " weldin mike27 " for posting a link to some very helpful videos that jody posted thanks jody for all your efforts!!! CAM00300b.jpg CAM00301b.jpg I guess I am just wondering how sound these twelds look to you...

Thanks that was very helpful!!!!

Does anyone have some type of settings chart for tig cause this manual dont say squat.
in this pic the alum angle on top is 1/16'' and the alum flatbar in the center is 3/16'' and at the
bottom is 1/8 steel square tubing.

Here is a pic of the knobs toooooooo many to figure out right now.

Below is a pic of My first TIG welds. Yesterday My new EVERLAST POWER PRO 205S came in and today even though I have no idea how to set up the dam thing, I said what the hell and gave it a go. Any and all criticism welcome. One thing I noticed was that while welding the aluminum even when I didn't di...

Hey guys I just want to start by saying thanks yall are very very helpful. I actually bought Jody's DVD'S so maybe that will help to. Just to be clear you say even on the thin stock I should preheat with a propane torch and then when I start welding as the weld progresses I need to move faster and f...

ok I think we got it figured out to some extent, and now I need a lot of practice. I noticed an immediate improvement after changing the polarity, but aluminum seems to be as thin as water and I keep getting blowouts . Is there a certain pattern I should do or should I just keep going in a straight ...

Wow, thanx for the info guys very helpful!

What about the mig wire I am using ER5356 is this the right wire or should I use the 40 30 something or another?

Ya know what I knew I was doing something wrong. I was welding with flux core and even though I read in the manual and know I AM SUPPOSED TO SWAP THE LEADS I FORGOT! Well I guess tomarrow i will swap the leads and dive in head first. Will up date tomarrow. Thanx again.

Although I am not certified I can weld steel quite well. have been welding steel for a few years and thought I would try aluminum. What a joke, I suck!!!

The settings were the sugested settings on the chart inside the cover. it was 5 and 75 on the wire speed.

Its not tig, I am using a hobart handler 210 MVP and spool runner 100 on 115 volts. the mig wire is ER5356 I am using 100% ARGON and the aluminum I bought at tractor supply I guess its just stock aluminum you can pick up at lowes or home depot. and i am 100% positive it is user error.

HH 210 MVP ON 115 volt, 1/16 aluminum

Thanx guys, thats a lot of helpful info!!!

For my next project I was thinking of building a utility trailer maybe 6' x 14'. Im thinking 2'' x 2'' x 3/16'' angle on the main frame and 2'' x 2'' 1/8'' on the rails with 3500# single axle. Does this sound adequate or do I need heavier steel?

Here is a couple deer stands I just finished. Nothing fancy, took a full day of cutting and welding. It was a lot of work flyin solo without any type of lift. From the floor down is 1.5'' x 1/8'' square tubing and above the floor is 1'' x 1/8'' square tubing.
