Great work everyone!

I love welding/fab. I have been tig welding for about two years as a hobbyist and learn from it each time. Sure it can get coated or wrapped but thats fine I still want to make the best parts I can possibly make.

Hobart makes a good diy entry level tig welder, they are very similar to Miller but not as spendy. Miller and Hobart are owned by the same parent company.

I bought a Miller Diversion 180, it's a great piece. I hear there are cheaper options, maybe with slightly higher failure rates. Sounds like most of them had fantastic warranties, though.
