Small diameter tube can be a pain. It always takes 5 or 6 practice joints to get in the rhythm more so if it's been more than a month or two since I did them last.
I have more questions than answers

I really needed some stock to practice on and figure out amps. Really hard to see, maybe I should have gone to a much smaller cup. Used a gas lens #8.

Upgrade to a full frame before you buy too many EF-S lenses!
Stone knives and bearskins.....and a NEW EVERLAST 164SI !!!
That's my newly shared work welder.
At home I got a Power Tig 185 DV. Nice, but no plasma cutting... Nice tight arc after a second.

If this keeps up, we're going to have a "safety meeting". The occasional thread hi-jack, where the OP plays along, is funny. Making a game of it in many threads is not.

Must be a Seattle Seahawks fan with the green and blue color

Looks nice and I'm sure you won't be disappointed by anything on that cart

Thanks, I was surprised the cart came out flat and rolls on all 4 wheels. One thing though, my tungsten electrodes (I snapped them in half short half length) look like crap, all dark and burnt looking all along its length. I was using the air cooled torch at times near its limits. It seemed like I was struggling way to much with welding up this cart, hard to see the arc and puddle, I'm wondering if something wasn't off there. I reground my tungstens frequently. I was getting a lot of POP craters at the end of my beads. Had the argon about 18 cfm, #8 gas lens, maybe too much stick out?

And no we are Steelers fans in our house we don't like the SeaChickens.
