I am a hobby welder and have a mig and tigwelder and a plasma cutter. I am getting better at mig and just starting to get the hang of tig sort of, The thing I learned about tig is that although I thought I was practicing tig welding what I really was practicing, was how to sharpen tungsten. Man did I get to do a lot of that the first few sessions., Light up, stick tungsten sharpen tungsten repeat

I enjoy building restoring and hot rodding anything with four wheels. Fabrication is what I like doing the most.
I am looking forward to being a part of this community and learning, sharing and enjoying what this site and its members have to offer.

Hi Ram and welcome to the forum. We like pictures here so be sure to include some showing your work. Also, keep an eye out for the next contest here. The odds of winning a great new Longevity machine are very good.
I still spend most of my time sharpening tungstens so I can certainly relate to your story. Glad to have you aboard.
Dan

I love two and even three wheeled machines, But a mans got to know his limitations and I knew a long time ago that if I rode anything with less then four wheels that made any power at all. I would cut my life short for sure lol

My 4 wheel interests range from Hot rods to muscle cars to drag cars and even sport compacts. My son and I built a dodge neon that runs 10.23 at143 mph in the 1/4 mile with a 4 cyl 2.4l motot making 600 HP to the wheels on 37 lbs of boost.
