I only want to do this stuff once would be less expensive but if I wanted to do something bigger I'd have to tear it out and do it over. Plus I have a good amount of welding experience. Yeah they're pretty neat he also makes one for 4 spots for wire as well. Toolmaker makes a similar product but I think that Jim's look better.

Thanks I've looked through your build log and I like what I'm seeing there, so the same goes to you.

 

Today I went on a hell of a buying spree on the northern tool website. If you go on retailmenot they have a coupon for $20 off for anything over $100 so I broke my orders up and used the code 3 times so far. The only thing I haven't ordered is the welder but I'm going to see if I can get them to give me a deal at the local airgas. I'm going to opt for a Hobart 210 MVP made in USA runs of 120/220V and Hobart is owned by miller. It's $400 less than the lincoln 210 and I think if I want to tig I'll buy a dedicated machine for it in the future so I can do aluminum as well.

I purchased the following:

(1) Milwaukee 7 amp Angle Grinder

(1) Milwaukee 14" Abrasive Chop Saw

(1) 5 Pack 14" Abrasive Blades

(1) Klutch 2 Tier Welding Cart

(1) Cheap Pair Welding Gloves

(1) 5 Pack 60 Grit 4.5" Sanding Wheel

(2) 25lb. Mini Magnet Squares

(2) 4.5" Grinding Discs

(1) 10lb Spool .030 Carbon Steel Wire

It was around $340 total but would have been closer to $400 had I not used the coupon 3 times. It's going to be like Christmas but the UPS guy is gonna hate me.

Alright small update I was messing around with sketchup trying to determine how much material I was going to need. If I build it just like this I will need 245 feet of steel which is if I make the front exactly like the back which I won't. I thought I was thinking it would be closer to 400 feet. The final product may not look exactly like this the top is going to be a problem but I'm sure I can figure it out.

Also I decided on a welder and ended up going with a Miller 211 after rebate it will only costing me about $125 more than the hobart. Plus the miller features infinite voltage control, is lighter and has autoset which might be a cool feature.

I bought all the stuff to go steel I'm not messing around lol. Your box is pretty well braced as well though. The floor I might do differently to gain a couple more cubes. I think I want to utilize the some space under the front for whatever lithium I get rather than running all the runs all the way to the back. Mount the amp/amps to the sides of the enclosure.

Thanks man a lot of people like the motors I just hope they perform well. Wish I had a tool to measure guass just to see where they measure even though it's not a huge determining factor of overall performance.
