New to me welder - birds nest
Just aquired a Millermatic 200 that hasn't shot a bead in possibly 20 years. New bottle of gas and a spool of the correct wire size later I'm ready to start welding.

Steam outline design
Contemplating building an electric ten wheeler for those burn ban days around here. What would be a good design for suspension and/or equalization if I don't have to go with the prototypical leaf spring setup? Any thoughts or ideas?

Re: Last Run
Roy will certainly be missed by all that knew him. He put in a lot of effort and had a huge passion for the hobby and was a great guy. The Pickard family wants everyone to know that the Spring Fling at the Comanche and Indian Gap will continue as planned next week with a memorial service planned for...

I really hate posting negative comments if it's avoidable, but we've got +5 years with no resolution. Steer clear if you can.
