New toys in the play room… er, I mean, tools in the garage
The garage is finally starting to shape up: I made use recently of the built-in workbench left by the previous owner, and this week I added a MIG welder, the Hobart Handler 140 to my arsenal of tools.
Now to just figure out how to use the !@#%$@ thing. Any suggestions?

Bought a MIG welder and don’t know what to do with it? Try a course at local community college or at Hobart or Lincoln Electric in Cleveland. Many places offer low cost training ( 300-500$) PS MIG is great for spot welding but creates too much heat for body panels creating warpage & distortion if you’re not extremely careful. A better choice ( but more expensive) would have been a TIG (GTAW) welder. Good luck. Lee
