Great pictures again Ralph!
I think you will be much happier with some bottle gas. Pick up some .025 wire for sheet metal. I haven't replaced my wire yet .035, but the "easy grind" wire seems to be pretty neat, soft. Grinds like tig welds (supposedly).
Whatever works for you. Ran the 38 today, straight in to summer here. Look forward to your updates and great videos.
btw: The Lincoln you bought is a very good welder. I won't get in to a miller/lincoln debate
, I love my Lincoln. One thing to watch on migs is the gun liners. They get gummmed up. I just replaced mine and it made it run like new (fairly cheap to do). Liners, tips and wire are all expendables.
