hello
im new here
i was looking for information on a warco 220 lathe that i recently bought and found a link to this site.
so, here i am , so far ive found this site informative and frequented by knowledgable people whom i think i can learn from,
i am the kind of person who likes to have a go at making, or repairing anything when it breaks and i like
land rovers (i have a 1972 series 3 swb soft top) so,,,,,,,,,,, repairing anything when it breaks  can be quite
often with me
i also like making things and to enable me to do that i have in my workshop (garage)
a mig welder, arc welder,  lathe + various tools ive collected or inhereted over the years and a lot of shelving to put it on.
last year i decided to try to make a plasma cutter out of my mig welder by reversing the polarity (easy) and installing an air filter to it
with a switch to change gas supply solenoids(obviously it didnt work, the earth return i had wasnt up to it) :zap:
and i'll be trying again later this year when i have time (im married with one kid, so not much spare time).
the most recent ''project'' ive been doing is to install a twin cylinder 12v compressor with compressed air storage tank
under the passenger seat of my land rover so i can inflate my tyres from an outlet at the front and rear of the landy,
the stored compressed air can also be used to power the large air horns ive installed as well  :bugeye:
