After 4 months of having it sit in the garage, I plugged up the China welder today and played a little.

I adjusted the settings as per the ones on the door and I think it welds pretty good for the first time I used it.

No China welder would be complete without a China helmet. This is the Harbor Freight Vulcan helmet.

This helmet is actually very nice to use. The only problem I had was when I forgot to switch it back to weld mode after I had it in grind mode and struck an arc.
.....what's all those yellow things floating in the air?
This is the wire the mom & pop shop sold me. Dang it was pretty cheap too.

I know, I know....I shoulda went for a pretty blue welder but you all know me....I'm kinda different.
