 Re: The O/T thread! I went to my local welding supplies shop this morning and was feeling saucy.
It was a mega bargain and now I can start making stuff in the garage.

Re: The O/T thread! Oh, and aside from the floor paint and wiring the lights over the bench, my garage is pretty much finished ready for the 2cv to come home to.

Re: The O/T thread! Thanks, it was worth the effort doing the garage, I feel very lucky to have that space. Can't wait to get a bottle of gas and start tripping the electric out. Out if interest, what are these migs worth?

Re: The O/T thread! Worth what you're willing to pay for it, isn't that the line? Mine's a 200, I paid about 330 for it privately on eBay auction. So far the electric has been okay with a 20 amp trip, but I've heard you can need a different type for welders, one that trips slower, as they initially draw a higher current for a short time when you first pull the trigger. I won't comment on whether the fuse in the 13amp plug has been replaced with a piece of copper pipe.

Re: The O/T thread! That's interesting, I will have to look into it a bit more. I can't wait to get the floor done and get the chassis in there.
