    Hi Atcig and welcome to the forums. You will find much useful information here as well as some very friendly and helpful people. We are just transitioning from an older forum to this new one so some of the images are not there yet but should be soon.
    Feel free to ask any questions or post images of some of your work. If you are in the market for some great welding equipment this is the right place too. Longevity units are super and the support is second to none.

    Thanks for the welcome. I found this forum while looking for plasma cutters. I think that would be a great tool for art.

    Welcome to the forum atcig.
    If you are doing works of art I would consider a multi-function machine. With that type of machine you can do plasma cutting, welding, TIG welding. The TIG would be very usfull doing small accurate welds.

    I don't think the Hello will fly for post count. Simon may clean these up. He is really looking for posts with some real substance.
