Been working on this for a year now. Bought a walk in last year. Between rain last fall, Covid at Christmas, rain again in spring, hay season, I finally got time to start getting it back up.

This was a used beverage cooler 8’x24’ with doors. Now 8’x12’ no glass doors.

Will be hanging meat soon! Getting excited! Will be buying stuff from Walton’s soon!

I don’t associate with any of them, which is the shocking part ROFL!

Hopefully you are moving to an area that does allow, otherwise it’ll have to be incognito

AHAHA! You guys are awesome. The temporary home has a backyard big enough for me to stretch my arms… and the subdivision I will build my new house… is the same subdivision. It is a highly coveted neighborhood and I have a lot (which was an investment)

Got a little discoloration but wipes right off with water. Will also sanitize before first use as well.

Hope to have it running next week, deer season starts on the 13th, so under the gun !

You can see the 3/8”x 2 1/2” rails running over to the side of the frame. All welded in place and anchored to the concrete floor. If it’s ever got to be moved out I’ll have to take a torch to it to get it out!

Made to use hooks only instead of the rolling trolley type hooks. Didn’t have enough height for rolling

The Miller also give my a 10Kw generator when the power goes out for extended period. The buzz box just wasn’t suitable for my welding needs.

Since I fabricate a lot of projects with thinner gauge steel and metal tubing, I decided to get a MIG welder a few years ago since they allow poor welders like me to do acceptable welds on thin steel and even sheet metal.
Hobart makes a good light duty one that runs on 120 volt AC. I ended up getting a similar model by Miller that will handle up to 3/8 " thick material but runs off of 220 volts.
With MIG welders you need a bottle of argon for the shield gas. You can also get flux core wire for it to do welding without the gas shield which works fine, but makes rougher looking beads.
I ended up selling the stick welder.

AC will work just fine if a good deal on an AC225 welder comes up for you but DC is easier to stick weld with so it might be worth holding out for the AC/DC 225/125. The AC model has one dial on the face and the AC/DC has two dials on the face. Other than that, they look nearly identical.

The price point is close to Lincoln. They have a great welding school about 40 miles north of me. Most of the people going to the school have job offers before they graduate, and that was before the pandemic.
