( it is HUGE, must weigh 500 pounds) also a Forney stick 230 amp I been using for 35 - 40 years , and a oxy acc ... I just bought a LOTOS 2000D 3 in 1 unit . should receive it next week. I also have some HVAC equipment .. gauges , reclaim equipment , etc (and a refrigerant license too )

Welcome, Don,

You may indeed be our most senior member, but we have many retirees, and I've never asked their ages.

We also have several metal turners and other assorted hobby and pro machinists here.

I think you'll enjoy our happy quiet li'l corner of the internet, and we're glad to have your experience to add to our own!

Welcome, Don! I did live in Winona for a few years; I would LOVE to go back! It is my opinion that if space aliens invade earth, it is because they want Minnesota!
