Greeting from a new joiner. Didn't know you existed until I bought a 3-in-1 plasma/tig/stick machine a week ago. (Accurate Tool 518 machine) Had to look for manual on the 'net and came across this group. Congratulations on a job well done (Bravo Zulu to you Navy nerds). I have a couple lathes, several drill presses including an old Camelback acquired from Mooney ACFT Co.), Old Lincoln SA200, and lots of good stuff. I just enjoy making things. Borrowed a friends Miller plasma cutter and got hooked. I have never TIG welded but have been welding for a good number of years -gas and stick. Oh, forgot, have a small MIG machine too.
One of the things I love is building my own tools. I know I am not unique in this trait.
Rebuilt an old Champ forklift that had the misfortune of taking a swim in the Pedernales River. Got it for a song at a junk yard where I used to do trading before it was forced out of business by the EPA. So much for recycling blarney.
Retired Navy as CWO and was also a chief petty officer. Many Sea Stories. You know, the ones that are differentiated from fairy tails-- A fairy tail starts "Once upon a time--" and a sea story starts "Now this is no @#$%@#$%@#$%@#$%--"
