A gooseneck hitch for the shop??????:whistle:

Oh, you mean the Miller welder? How about some specs on it? Or, just bring it to me and I will tell you the specs, after I lay down some beads with it and find a spot in my garage for it:D

I have 3 millers, but the MIG is just a baby at 135 amps. The tig is a monster at 460 amps but it is an old sine wave 330 abp. The plasma is a 375 extreme and is very cool.

Show us some beads or projects.
 
Congrats on the new toy! I recently added a Sync 351 to the stable, but can't seem to find time and excuse to play with it much. And wow do I NEED to spend some quality time playing with it. Either my memory of my (admittedly limited) skills ~25 years ago are unjustifiably rosy, or I have completely lost the ability to manage that torch. I must have ground off over an inch of tungsten the first hour or so...
 
This is a old (all my budget could afford) millermatic 35. I picked it up for 300 with a 2 foot tank that was full of 75/25. I put a regulator all new wire and a buddy gave me a used gun (I will replace as well) and got it up and running. My old welder was a no name that welded good on large stuff but could never get the heat down for small stuff. I welded up some exhaust yesterday (not pretty enough for pics) and that was a first (without blowing holes in it). Pretty exciting stuff.
 
This isn't going to end well.:rolleyes::D

Do yourself a big favor......Don't go cheap on the helmet. Spend as much as you can afford on a good one.
 
Im still rocking my 4 year old century, but im going to replace it soon as it seems to be getting darker when looking through it normal.
