lol, that would never work!

On a serious note, looks good, especially for a first timer. What kind of tig do you have and how do you like it? I've got a Miller 200DX that I bought new about 2 yrs ago and love it. I'm sure I'd love it even more if I knew how to really use it.

thanks, i just have a miller diversion 165. works well, very easy to use. maybe later i will get a bigger nicer rig, but it works great and does everything i need it to so far.
