You'll have to age to understand it Mr. Tyler.

 

[jr dragster T]

Ohh alright

 

[EagleTalons]

Naw, just messing, The welders are the same as the ones I used at school, and there is a stool there too and the nice clean floors. Something I don't see in my shop.

Most of the TIG welders and MIG welders at school are Millars. They also have 3 of these huge arc/TIG welders that are Lincoln. Its like 4 feet tall and 3 feed wide. Howecome they are so large?

Ohh it looks like this

We have one of those HUGE welders at my dads farm, its got to weigh like 300lbs, and its probably the size of the one in that link, or maybe even bigger, its really old, probably pre-70's.

 

[jr dragster T]

Cool. Must be just one huge transformer?

I know your only kidding, but my cousin built a motorized shopping cart in school quite a few years ago. The idea has been around for a while and has probably been thought of before him. His had no clutch and was extremely crude though.
