    What up? 38 year old Dude (about to be 39 on Feb 2 from Chicago suburbs. Been welding (MIG) for about five years, self taught. I'm self teaching Oxy/Acet. at the moment. I own a plasma but can't afford tips at the moment I've been designing, building & fabricating things my whole life but I'm now un-employed and about to jump head first, blindfolded and handcuffed into the deep end?! In an attemt to become a Fulltime Mixed Media Artist! So I'm here, reaching out for knowledge and support, I guess? I still have so much to learn but hopefully I can contribute as well.

    Sincerely, Aaron

    Holy crap that is some nice work Aaron. Welcome to the forum, I have a feeling you are going to be able to teach others while learning the welding craft here. KHK lives in the Chicago area, he is one of Longevity's newest dealers. You might want to contact him to see the Longevity equipment in action. Another note very active participants on the forum and people who sign up for the try before you buy program can occasionally get a consumables kit. Can you do videos of any of your art processes, it would be interesting to see how you did some of the work in your photos.

    Thanks guys!
    These are all just bits a pieces of bigger projects.
    They are all older projects.
    I had a computer crash in which I lost a lot of photos, so I kind of have to restock as new projects come about!
