Are you still looking for a plasma cutter? I live in Rising Sun and I am pretty sure I was in the same welding class as you. I have one you could borrow if you still need it.

your tig welding is fine for not having a bunch of table and jigs setup to weld on.... you'll find that if you weld this stuff very ofter you'll make a table with all sort of arms and clamps on it to hold your work so you can get "comfortable." being comfortable is the key to a good weld.

i wasnt implying that... i was getting to point of saying alot of the welds you see that are "pretty" are done on a bench or table that has been welded on for years and has all sorts of home made clamps and holds and so on... meaning that they are comfortable welding on that table in almost any position... its just time...
