Although technically correct, one must keep in mind Steve came from a high salaried working environment and I on the other hand, work cheap.
but you only work for yourself (at that cheap rate) right?

I can find those big machines all the time. What I cant find is one I can tote in one hand. If I just wanted a dc only machine, I would have already found one.

Maybe me... if I find one of those beauties for $800. I better look at my garage extension plan and add a few more square feet for a few finds like that. Wife always loves Victoria... I will bring a beast up on the Black Ball and leave it with you Terry since your rates are so good!It's irrelevant as no one will hire me anyways.

It's too bad you don't have a walk-out basement - can stuff any size welder in that way and just wire it up and leave it there.
My place is a walk-out and I've welded in the basement a few times. I found the welding smell still went upstairs though. Not that I care - no lady here to complain
My shop is always heated now though so I just do everything out there.
But, but, but honey I need the shop to build the house!I can drive a atv into my basement and turn it around and drive out. Power panel is right there handy on the wall. Getting a big welder in there and hooking it up isnt the issue. My wife has a sensitive nose, I can open a can of beanie weenies in the basement and she will holler down and ask what I'm eating. Heaven forbid if I let out a fart. My house is for sale so I dont want the hassle of having to move a big welder and try to store it while I build a new house. My new house wont have a basement. While building, I probably wont have a shop to put any of my tools in. My new shop plans will allow for a lot more space to tinker and build, and maybe add a few more tools, I really want a mill. Until the new shop is built, and you already know which building my wife is going to consider the priority, my tools will probably remain in storage. I need a small welder I can put in the trunk of my car and carry to the farm and do minor repairs with. Those older, big frame welders just aint pick up and carry friendly.
