He said he was shaking little when cutting the 1/2" plate, well that was better free hand than I do with a guide

As always you videos are very informative and im always learning something .Thank You. I know this is kind of ,off topic but was that a Harbor Freight welding bench you were using when you were doing the stick welding ? If so,how is it ? .I was Thinking of picking one up.They have been on sale for 59.00 .If anyone else has it what do you think of it ? Is it worth it ?
Thank you

The one in the video is a stronghand nomad table. I have 3. But I was in HF the other day and theirs appeared to be pretty much same but lots cheaper. I find the nomad to be very handy for what it is. It will not replace a heavy bench with plate steel for top but works for a lot so stuff. And easy to haul around too.

Thank you Jody, I think for 60.00 I'm gonna go for it.What kind of gas flow were you using ?Does it matter with the Pyrex cup as opposed to a regular cup ? Thats always a question I forget to ask .
