Hi everyone! After working 35 years for Raytheon Company, I retired last year, and am pursuing welding as a hobby. I have been welding with my Hobart Handler 187 MIG and Victor Torch for several years. I recently took a welding class at Eastfield College (Dallas), which covered most welding processes - oxy fuel, stick, MIG, TIG, plasma cutting. I am hooked on TIG, and bought an Everlast PowerTIG 200DV, which I have been experimenting with. It seems like a pretty solid machine, so far.

I am really enjoying Jody's weekly videos. Looking forward to part 2 of building a welding cart. After what happened at the end of part 1, who can blame Jody for turning off the camera. ha-ha

Welcome, Roger,

Once the TIG bug bites...

Good on ya for learning more than one way to skin this cat, though.

Welcome and enjoy the wealth of knowledge on this site. I'm quite new to tig welding and I love it. I just need more time and materials to do more.
