Can't go wrong with that deal. If you want to I can try. I'm far from professional but can usually get stuff to stick together. It is real handy having a welder. Like to get it setup for aluminum also. That would be awesome
Good morning Woodchuckers, welcome (finally) to FRIDAY!!

Hoping to pick up a little Clarke EN130 MIG welder today with gas bottle and regulator. $75 bucks. Can't beat that price. Been looking for a while but everyone wants $300 for a basic small welder from Lincoln or other name brands. Clarke is our of business but its the same welder as the Forney so parts are available. Haven't touched a welder since shop class in high school when I had to demonstrate I could use a stick welder. Watching you use the MIG last fall gave me the bug and I'm hoping this one will do the trick. Might have to have you give me some pointers.
I have a similar welder from Clarke, works like a charm. Had a friend help me get started, it's a blast welding stuff together!
Morning Jim. Saving me money not have someone do all of this metal work on the 67! Plus, its just nice to have, for making stuff, or fixing things. And, it's pretty cool doing it!
I still struggle with welding sheet metal. I tend to get impatient, next thing you know, I've burned a hole through! Must have patiencs.....
And not warp it from heat. I might try some structural adhesive sometime. It would avoid damaging the metal from welding and seal the seam at the same time.
