    Welder

    I can believe it. And the price difference? I bought a Miller plasma cutter. It does OK for thin stuff but the price was 1500USD about 20 years ago. One can buy a cheapo now-a-daze that works just as well if not better for a huge reduction in price. Even so, I dont like supporting China

    I thimpfks it was 1984 for me in Ellensburg, WA. The light all came on, the birds went to sleep and stopped Chirping. A few minutes later the moon left and the lights went out and the birds started chirping again. Interesting

    What is your purpose in getting into the hobby of building model engines?

    I tell them something I cannot repeat on this forum. But a reply like this is also good: "It's for creating a nuclear fusion plant." or "It's for peering at the interior of stars".
