It's funny you say that...............last night I was kinda thinking about that......
It's some sort of 'sad irony' or "sad twist of fate" or something similar......
Because now I have just created a machine that lets/forces me to "not weld as much" which is in a way sad, because that's my favorite thing about metal working..........the welding....
Damn,.............. now I feel like I just fell down a "rabbit hole".........

They will weld it up for you for about ~150 bucks extra (but that would be as crazy as paying someone to eat your birthday cake)

I like how you improved your welds as you progressed! And I agree with you that there is something satisfying about tig welding versus mig or stick. And what you see is what you get in real time. Good job!
You could look at that that way, but I'd say it gives you more versatility. Sometimes you weld something up because you have not other choice to make something work. Now you have a choice.

Great work…. But, I have to say… any company that specs HF tools… uhm…. WTF?
still, great work. And I agree totally with you, TIG is the way to go! Love my Lincoln electric v205-t! Love the portability too…
been using it for years… even ended up teaching with it (don’t ask).

The parts may well have been machined in the USA, but it seems the country of manufacture depends a lot on where you live. ;-)
Nice job. Up here we actually call that a finger brake. One tip: I've found the shop-press brake attachment works best if the work is centred under the hydraulic ram. Not so much of an issue bending sheet metal, but bending heavier stuff for brackets, etc. off-centre wants to cock the upper anvil slightly despite the guide bars.

Wow! That certainly went over my head!
Somehow I don't see any humor there...
You probably think it time to put me to bed...
Sorry, I appologize. I'll delete it, as I was over the top, disregard. As you were. My mistake.
Most wouldn't understand. Should have been a PM.
