I've had a Lincoln SP125 MIG welder for about ten years - had to replace
the guide tube for the wire twice so far, and the drive wheels for the
wire a few times also, otherwise, it's been very reliable. Can run off
115V or 230V. It does tend to shut down due to overheating if you do a
lot of

I just bought a Hobart ( made by Miller ) 187 amp 220 volt. It runs great, I
can use up to .035 wire on it. The whole thing except gas bottle was around
$800.

We use LPS 3 for long term mold storage. Thick waxy.
They also have others that might work for you I think you can get them at
local ace hardware. I get ours from MSC.

Where I left you guys last time was where we got the car up on the
spit. Of course there was some body work to be done post collision and
the fact that it is an old car.. I knew the car had been in a front
end collision at some point and at another point I tried to drive the
car through a garage
Erin,
I recently purchased a Millermatic 180 and it works well for me. I'm far
from being a proficient welder but this one is fine for my use. According to
the spec sheet this machine will weld 3/16 steel. The -matic part is
there is a setting with which the operator will select the thickness
Thanks Larry. I've done a lot of reading and it seems the Miller line of
welders is about the most favourite welder and highly suggested for all
kinds of uses. The Millermatic 250 is supposed to let you weld some thicker
stuff so you don't have to use the arc welder and it is indeed 220/240v.
Great pics- you did a nice job.

Kirin - I'm totally blown away. I remember when you first started, you were
full of questions to the point that sometimes it irritated some of the ol'
timers. But we all loved having your young blood on the list. :) I'm
thrilled that you managed to keep Seabert all these years and finally
