A big big bottle of nerve pills Lol. I do welding for te public in slow times and often i do alot of the odd ball stuff no one else wants. Id at least get a good 220 60percent duty cylce Mig. I started out when i was 14 with a small wooden 19 by 20 shop bought a miller tunerbolt ACDC and a torch. Then got a cheap drill press a 10 inch swing 24 in table Lathe, then a poweered hacksaw, a chop saw, built a samll metal brake. and a tubing bender. then the shop was full so dad built a 40 by 50 with 19 foot sides and Ive now got 2 torch sets, my original welder a 110 wire welder, a 220 mig, 2 3phase machines, a tubing bender 3 drill presses, the 10 by 24 lathe and a 27 inch swing by 8 foot lathe, a shaper/metl plane, several grinders a porta band, hydraulic power unit, portable welder automated pattern torch. Now im looking a a Radial arm drill with 3 inch capacity, a milling machine, plasma cutter and a few other things. THis is just my hobby shop. Most of my customers aare folks that i can trust and dont carry as much liability as i need. One thing about your welder like my first was on big things i had to wait so long for it to cool before continuing. I lucked up and had 3phse by the shop so recently had it hooked up. Around here a 3 phase welder can be had cheap. I didnt even list my home built benders and such for iron work. in the summer im usually one a dozer or scraper building roads and such. and on the weekends and other off times i draw in extra income from the shop. Ive had to scrounge repair and rebuild tools that i find at auctions scrap yards and such.
