Nice, which one?

Primeweld Cut50DP I've had their Tig 225 machine for a couple years and it's been great. Great prices / machines for the type of stuff I do.

I feel you, man. Been there, done that. What's something you'd love to have/need under $100?

I appreciate it brother but I'm good, I've got too much crap anyway. Kids and wife are taken care of and thats all I can ask for

Hopefully some changes are coming after the first and it will get better

FYI....I worked on a project over the weekend and the tig wasn't creating those Instagram quality welds....obviously the welder and not me. Because of you, I promptly pulled my G19 and threatened the welder.....it called my bluff.

I really want to buy one of their fixture tables.

https://primeweld.com/products/welding-fixture-table

I'm currently in the process of redoing the single car bay of my garage (the shop) to make more room / better organization since I've got too much shit. Not looking forward to moving the Bridgeport or lathe but it needs to be done.

Since I got the plasma cutter, it's really highlighting the need to replace my air compressor with a quieter model, so that will probably be the next purchase.

Me too. For what it is, that is a killer deal. I have two of the Vevor ones and they are only good learning to weld....on the table.

When I grow up, I want the Fireball tools stuff from Jason

Snagged this NIB for $450 under retail for the spousal unit to give me. It’s my 3rd Turtle…all three have different faces/bezels. Just an amazing looking retro dive watch for the price!

Did a little trade with some $$$ to boot at the LGS.

Got another Gen 5 Glock 19 MOS - but it has the new Holosun SCS MOS-GR on it. Nice little setup.

Shot it today - it's a tack driver.

A GSG 5 with 2 mags for my Grandson who was born in September. It’s a present for me, because the joy I will get from spending time with him shooting it will be priceless. It’s not very used and still had original box and all manuals cards etc. I’ll function test since it has been fired then clean and await my smiles to come years down the road. I bought it of gunbroker and was hoping I was going to get the last auction surprise I got… I bought myself a few weeks ago not for Christmas, but just because I wanted it a GSG 5PK. It arrived and appears unfired. Had all original paperwork including the original receipt with purchasers name address and store (behind foam in case) The 5PK is what sparked idea for Grandson. I’ll add him some drum mags for it before he is old enough to shoot it, another present to myself cause how could watching my grandchild enjoy a mag dump not bring a smile to my face.

Might pick up a winch for it this weekend. The gay ass wheels will be gone, hopefully, within the next couple months so I can go with 17” beadlocks and 37s.
