Finally broke down and bought a new welder...

Gotta say, that Im glad I did.. the old one that I was using...is a major POS! haha

I picked up a Lincoln 3200 - threw it on the bottle..tossed the flux cored wire..and started burnin in some welds!

Just thought I would share a pic with ya'll.. im pretty proud of the way they look

Nice first project with the new welder. :banghead: Now its time to think of all those attachments you can start buildin. :horseplay:

Oh and Im sure you wont miss buying that high dollar flux wire. Plain wire went up bad enough as it is. Last 30 pound roll I got was just over $100.

nick - Thankfully ive never had to use flux wire... the old welder I was using is a friends, its a 1970 sumpthin Hobart Mig ... Weighs a couple hundred pounds... and I know certified welders who hate that thing..haha the 3200 from Lincoln is shipped setup as a flux welder, but since ive got the gas sittin here from the other welder... might as well use it up!

I dont think our Wire has gone up much here...Our 10 lb rolls are still right about 30 bucks..
