What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

It is going together pretty well, I will finish it up later today, the quality is very good "top shelf" at a price that pretty much anyone needing to bend something can get $450 with the purchase of a hf 20 ton press is really good

Just to add to an earlier comment...

EVERY brake is a "finger brake" if you don't get your hand out of the way... :roll:
