How is everybody?
My name is Collin, I live in central Mississippi. I've had a Miller welder sitting in my dad's garage for a long time, never thought twice about it. About three years ago my uncles were building a trailer hitch mount/bumper and asked me if I wanted to have a go at the stick welder. Loved it! Started using the Miller mig sitting in the garage, loved it even more. It came in handy on this motorcycle project I have been working on. Don't know all the ends and outs of it yet. Recently got my hands on a Miller Diversion 180. Been doing a lot of practice runs on scrap aluminum, nice beads but know consistency. Can't figure out how to do edges without them melting. I have a few projects coming up where the tig is needed. Carbon steel exhaust pipe for the bike and a battery box. I'm sure this the place to hone on my skills. Good Day.
