New from frozen Minnesota

Hi, I'm glad to be here.
I've been welding intermittently since 98. I have used a Lincoln 100amp wire feed almost exclusively with flux core and have
just picked up a new Hobart 210 MVP that I have yet to use. I will try not to ask too many stupid questions.

Welcome odis.
And don't worry about asking stupid questions, I think I've already asked most of them.

Yep and on Saturday it looks like a high of about -8 degrees for you. Good luck buddy!

Like I always say. You can always add more layers, but there's a point where you have to stop taking off before you break laws and people start lookin at you funny.

Supposed to have a gravity box show up for welding a 6 foot rusted split over the weekend.
...it might have to wait a couple days
Unless he doesn't mind paying extra for the propane for some pre-heating and the extra time - then it'll get welded anyway.
