| Having never welded anything before, I started with a 220V 50amp stick welder I borrowed from my neighbor. I quickly found that it couldn't be set it low enough to keep from burning right through the thin metal. So I convinced myself that I could afford to buy a small MIG welder. I bought a Hobart Handler 140 from Tractor Supply. Its a 115V welder and can work on much thinner material. | Having never welded anything before, I started with a 220V 50amp stick welder I borrowed from my neighbor.

| - | Other than the wheels and a few nuts and bolts for the axles (which I had left over from my deck build), I found all the parts this this. It needs a coat of paint and some caps for the ends of the tubes, but those can wait for warmer weather. | + | Other than the wheels and a few nuts and bolts for the axles (which I had left over from my deck build), I found all the parts for this along I40.
