I too just purchased a welder. New- in box - Lincoln Pro Mig 180. Guy got it as a gift and it seems his wife decided it wasn't something he should have

Anyway, I put in a 240 volt outlet in the garage bought a HF auto-darkening helmet (came highly recommended) and started laying beads yesterday (flux only, don't have a bottle yet).

I'm going to look into a community college welding class (my county doesn't offer one, but we have reciprocity with dallas county!)

Wish me luck (and about the time of retirement, I'll be 10% the welder that Lou is).
