Graphic Artist Dabbling Into Metal

[Krikster]

Hey Folks...Ladies and Gents!!

I am giving a shout out for my introduction from North Carolina!! I am a graphic designer/business owner of screen printing. I dabble in metal for fun, but also look to building some of my needed equipment as well. That is why I stumbled across this site doing research on different things I am in need of making. I own a Lincoln Electric 180 Dual MIG welder, also a Lincoln Electric gas powered 250GXT ARC welder. Not to forget the cutting torch and cool grinders, chop saw and so on.

Anyway, this is me and looking forward to asking lots of questions for the more manual lack of machines metal working, and an occasional machine question!

Thanks to all and this site!!

Welcome to the forum, Kirk.

I'm a former fellow graphic designer, now working in the film industry.

I have learned a lot about shaping metal from the fantastic talent sharing a wealth of knowledge here...
