Howdy, my name is Dave and I'm looking to improve my skills by learning from other folks, and maybe later be able to pass it on myself.
I first learned to weld 16 years ago when I was in high school, where I was in FFA for ag mechanics, and have been doing it since for farm repairs, general hobby type stuff, and 4 wheel drive fabrication. With access to an old Montgomery Ward AC295 and a Lincoln 140 amp mig, I was getting it done, but a couple of years ago purchased a Miller 252 and more recently started tig on a Lincoln 175 I picked up on the cheap.
Anyhow, I've got a ways to go before I get where I want to be, so I'll be here reading when I'm not practicing. The older I get the more I realize I don't know how to do.
On the projects list, I've got a welding table I need to finish, some suspension stuff for the 4x4, and when I can afford the materials and time and get better with the tig, I have a roll cage, some chassis beef, and some body work lined up.
I look forward to being a part of the community.
