old and new at the same time

HI! I'm Larry and learned to weld way back in Ag shop in high school nearly 40 years ago. I'll have to say that was one thing that I learned in school that I have been able to use off and on ever since (unlike say, diagramming sentences or cutting up frogs or doing jumping jacks). Up until now I've just had a 225 amp. stick welder and gas torch outfit.
1 yr. ago May 10 we had a tornado go through and took off the whole back half of my shop roof (as well as much house damage) so we decided now was the time to add on to it since the roof was already gone, I didn't have to take it off to add on. So now I have a place to do metal working inside with a real concrete floor and all. I've really appreciated it. Just recently I added a Clarke 180en wire welder and just ordered a Forcecut 40D. I'm looking forward to getting it and hope I enjoy it as much as I have the wire welder.
Already made a patio security door for my mother-in-law and looking forward to more.

Hi Larry and Welcome to FreeWeldingForum.com

I am glad to see you on here and I know your 40amp plasma cutter will not let you down. Lets see some pictures of the units in action.

Welcome,
