Well, it's not my nicest, prettiest, or strongest build, but it works, and it only cost me 4 7018s to make.
It isn't quite to my normal standards, but it's not too bad for something built in an hour, from scrap, with a "designed on the fly" plan...
It solidly holds an 80cf argon tank, and with the garden tractor wheels, it will go anywhere.
I have finally made the custom fitting I needed to hook the regulator to the tig torch, now all I need is some tungsten, and my tig will be operational. As always, the stickweld 250 was a joy to run, and worked great!
Please try and ignore the bad welds, the only steel I had left was about 3/32, and I had to run the 1/8 7018 way too cold to prevent blowing holes. If I had some thinner rods, it would look a lot nicer. That was done at 100 amps.... About 30 too cold... LOL The tig would have been perfect for this...
Anyways, here are the pictures!
