    Great video as usual. I use copper pipe as a backup for welding up small holes. I take a piece about 10-12 inches long and flatten a couple inches on one end then bend it over and flatten it again. That gives me 4 times the wall thickness of the pipe. It works for me and it's cheap. 👍 🇨🇦

I understand there’s times to just pop it out and save time to do a simple job thinking there are plenty of other videos you’ve made. but it is still fabulous to see it done again.

I have a sheet metal piece I wish I could mail you that has a complicated pressed budge in it and a interesting stepped flanged edge for strength. It is only about 18" by 10" but I think it would make for a good video. Let me know and I could mail it to you (with some other goodies). Thanks again for everything!

Great video bud 👍

    I bought a Hobart 140 a few years ago. A pre-retirement gift to myself. You won't be disappointed. Thanks to Fitzee's instructions, I welded new steel in the door skin and fenders and replaced the rocker panels on my '04 Jeep Liberty. Start collecting scrap steel now. Old bed frames are a good source of angle iron. Your 140 will pay for itself in no time. By the end of the year, you'll wonder how you survived this long without a welder. BTW, If need be, I can also run my H-140 on my 5500 watt generator.
