I managed to catch a piece of plywood on fire (Hmm, what's that

a rolling welding station for the little machine.

Lighting the ply on fire tells me you might want to make the cart Second
and a welding TABLE first?

Saaaay, not a bad idea, Brent. g I'll have to visit the scrap steel
yard early next year. Tuesday, Jan 2, sounds good.

For the quick-'n-dirty test, I clamped the steel to a piece of
painted plywood and gave the tiggy half power. Perhaps I didn't
need that much for the weld. About 3/4" worth of bead lit 'er up!
