My welder is down.....
My trusty Miller "Tombstone" Arc Welder isn't working--keeps tripping the breaker when I turn it on!...I haven't had time to fool with it to see if its just the extension cord that pooched(its a 50' hunk of 10ga romex cable thats seen some abuse from my plow,and has been outside on the ground for a long time!

--yah,I know its not the right way!

--but it was all I had,and it worked good for quite awhile!

)..I'm hoping its not the welder itself!--wish I knew where to get another arc welder cheap--all the flea markets and swap meets have all but dissapeared around here,its rare to see any welders for sale anymore..
My older brother said he's thinking of upgrading his Mig welder to one that can weld 1/2"in one pass--so he might pass his older one down to me!

--I will have to learn how to weld all over again,I tried using a Mig before,its nothing like arc welding!..butat least I'll be in the 20th century!--that Miller must have been made in the 40's by the looks of it--...I'll actually have REAL torches and a Mig if that happens(friend moved and gave me his torches and tanks!

)...too bad I'm getting too lazy to USE all that stuff lately...
You son did a nice job on that welder!--I wish I had learned to weld at age 11!--I'd have a ton of junk cobbed together before I was 13!..
