I have been a hobby welder for a few years now. My profession is a truck driver. I have a 9-year-old daughter (Melissa), two dogs (Buddy and Sparky), a cat (Blackie), a fish (Sucker), and a house in the country. In my spare time I work on my computer or in the garage. In the garage I am fixing, dismantling, or building something.
I am by no means an expert, but do know my way around a welder. I have worked on many smaller welding projects. I am currently working on designing and fabricating a front-end loader for my tractor. Since I found a new one too expensive and could not find a used one, I decided to take on the challenge of building one myself. As I make progress I will post the pictures in the free welding projects section.
I started this web site to help fellow hobby welders to be able to purchase excellent quality and affordable welders, welding gloves, welding helmets, and welding supplies. When looking around for my own welding supplies, I found a lot of web sites somewhat confusing and full of listings for expensive equipment.
I believe the average “Joe” should be able to go to a web site and find information without getting confused with too many graphics and too much garbage. Then there is also the affordability factor. The average “Joe” (like myself) doesn’t have a fortune to spend on top name brand equipment. You want excellent quality equipment for an affordable price. That is something that you will find here. For these reasons I became affiliated with Northerntool.com. An excellent company who has been around for over 25 years. They offer excellent selection, prices, and quality. They also ship worldwide.
