Have you ever watched American Chopper or Overhaulin or American Hot Rod and thought man I wish I could fabricate something out of metal like those guys?  I constantly wish I had the skills and equipment to do these things.  As a high-schooler I was exposed to the skill of welding while working for a commercial HVAC sheet metal contractor and fabricator.  When I had the opportunity to fabricate something it always brought a smile to my face.

Now that I have a desk job working as a business manager, I no longer have access to these amazing tools that I once did, although i still would love to be able to make what ever I want out of metal.

I think the biggest deterrent to this has been the entry price to the equipment that I would want/need.  A little over 0 for a decent Mig Welder and I will be off and running right? Well,  mig welding is a start, but what about a plasma cutter to cut the metal, and what about a tig welder to weld metal that is too thin to weld with a mig welder, and what about welding Aluminum.  To obtain all of these types of welders would run in the range of 00 – 00, but the evolution of the welder has created machines capable of all of these processes in one and at a much more affordable price.

Everlast Welders has been developing a line of Multi-Process welders that can Tig Weld, Arc Weld, and Plasma cut all from the same compact machine.  Independent tests have shown that one can achieve amazing results when put up against the more prominent american made competitors. For about one third as much as it would have cost to get these functions individually I can now have in one great machine. Check it out and see.

So now I have no excuses looks like this winter I will be out in the garage doing what I love.

Trying out the longevity multi process welder/plasma cutter. this is my first time with this machine and I think it’s good. I still need to get the hang of it and practice but I think I can. I still need to read the book so I don’t know if I even set it correctly but it was better than I thought it would be. it can also tig weld and is a stick welder.
