Hello I go by the name Freddytk421 here and on youtube. I have a code welding degree in welding and have taken numerous Art Metals classes. I and am certified in SMAW and am familiar with and can do all the major processes. stick,tig,mig,oxyfuel and a few automated ones. I make videos trying to help noobs and to also learn myself. I mainly weld and forge art as a hobby but I do know a few things about the technical and metallurgical aspect of it. I will be receiving a longevity multi-process machine hopefully in a few days and if I can help answer anyones questions I would be glad to here or make a video that answers it if I cant put it in words.

Thanks, My machine is going out tomorrow. I can't wait to get it. Now if I can only figure out how to get my avatar to shrink a few more kilobytes I'd be all set. LOL I'm new to a mac and may have to fire up the old PC.

So Freddy, are you suffering one of them there "Mac attacks" we used to hear about? sorry...

**Freddytk421** · 03-08-2010, 10:44 PM

Yeah, I never thought I would go to mac but I needed to get this computer for my new camera and just now figured out the mouse that came with it belongs in the trash. I have the latest greatest adobe bundle but it would not let me shrink it to 80x80 or 19.0k but I see my mushrooms are on my avatar pic somehow, so thats good.
