CNC plasma cut? This forum is going to cost me money, er I mean more money.
Trust me you can live without a CNC plasma cutter for now. Don't need to get the wife to mad. If you wanted to get into custom signage or you need to cut a lot of similar parts and could make a decent check doing it-maybe then consider it.
A student now but really want to weld everyday. Want to learn everything about everything. Want to become a knower of all and master of none.

Nice work Josh.
That's kinda my ideal favourite job. 3", fab up on stands, bolt it up and weld it in, beer. Life's good.

It's actually a bank of 4 large screw compressors. But the tank it bypasses is about 6 ft diameter and 16 ft tall.

Well yeah but potato and potaaato(sorry it's the best I could do)are spelled the same when actually written out but certain people pronounce them differently. Same with vase and vaaz(again sorry). Is there like levels or is it just who cares, worry about finishing your junior in high school?

Nothing interesting - floor drain for a shop to fit an odd size opening.

Perfect example of something that should have been mig or stick welded...

TIG welded it instead because I like it that way :D

1/8" material, 1/16" filler, 150 amps in an attempt to approach mig speed :D 8-)
(I was in a hurry)
