My name is William Payne, I live in New Zealand. This is a welding site so I’ll try and stay on topic. I am 32 years old. I started working in a machine shop that does job shop and mould tool and die work back in 2011. I was an inexperienced newbie and was in the trade because At the time it was the only job I could get. First day on the job I was basically handed a TIG torch and it was the only thing I was ever naturally good at. Besides a 2 year stint in an unrelated industry I still work at that machine shop and while I do more machining than welding in my day job I really love to weld. I have been setting up a home based shop behind my house and that is finally at a point where I will soon be able to take on work at home.
At home I have a Miller Syncrowave 350LX with a Coolmate 3, that is my main machine. My smaller welders are a ESAB Power Compact 205 Mig and a little BOC Gases 185 amp DC inverter TIG.

Been moving some stuff and had some wiring done. But here is my Syncrowave. Just waiting to be hooked up properly in its permanent spot as I get things more setup.
