Watched all kinds of videos for days and then purchased 2 welders and a plasma cutter. So far all I’ve been able to build was a hole in my wallet and a scrap pile of molten metal....

I updated my signature to show the equipment that I purchased. I am a beginner welder with some experience with gas welding in High School.
I mostly TIG weld aluminum coupons for the moment...I’ve used the MIG welder a few times to test it....
I had my first major problem with a bad batch of argon that was driving me nuts! My worlds got progressively worse as the bottle volume decreased. Thanks to some research here and a phone call to AHP I was able to diagnose the bad argon. Back on track now :)
