    Hello everyone!! I am from Baton Rouge, Louisiana and currently in the IT field for the Department of Transportation. I have been welding off/on for a numbers of years as a hobby and admiring "Metal Art", wasn't until about a year ago I got serious about welding and fabrication when I bought a 4x4 Samuari for offroading. Hope to get into CNC with inspiration from Gadget.

    Look forward to "chatting" with everyone !!

    technomitch,
    Welcome to the forum!
    I think that you will find that the equipment found on the Longevity website is the best bang for the buck. As in any busness there are a few glitches, but Simon solves then quickly. I think that Simon should be cloned, he has to much on his plate for one person.

    To date I have not found any hostial people on the forum, so ask away.... All of your questions may not be answered but the people of the forum will try to answer all of them.

    Hey Technomitch,

    Welcome to the forum. I just let a hartop tracker go running but needing a head gasket for $430.00 . Course woulda been a long haul. I worked at Big Cajun II last year and it was a nice area. The food was killin me !

    Have a good one.
