So Who Wants A Welder?! 

Ditto from an indignant Australian... now, where's that Vegemite

I second that motion as another indignant Canadian. I am going to drown my sorrows with some Ketchup Chips and a Molson Canadian.

Sad Albertan over here. Congratulations to whoever wins though.

Manitoba here. Good luck to all south of the boarder.

As a Swede, I will find some other way to heat my meatballs, but I really need a TIG welder for all my future welding too

Probably the only real one (real as in it actually went out and didn’t just go to someone who was a friend, in their area, etc)

How do you say I will model my behavior from this in the form of a 3d shape? 440? Idk what this idea im having is but its from respect and appreciation for your....style...yeah...style. my late best friend of 30 years owned all of this in town made some important valve got patent and.... Welll never got to show me all of this. I just learned to stick metal together and in a unique...yeah... unique style...lol... I felt my life change when the thing i made worked 1000% better cheaper and i did it?? Im still trying to calm the brainstorms and hide my wallet. As i type this the excitement overrunning my grammar...yeah...

The best .

If i won it I would just sell it or take it to hoke depot to get a refund

​@@justinlawlor3898that's not a very nice thing to do, the giveaway is a welder, not a cash prize.

​@@justinlawlor3898I hope you don't win then lmao At least donate it to a school or something I'd love to be able to learn to weld with one of these.

I have 220v plugs all over the place, but I think that's exactly why I can't join the giveaway. Oops.

Yeah. I'm considering buying a home the US just for this. I wonder where the cheapest houses in the US are. Nothing over $200- the Nigerian economy in not very good right now and I'm not an oil Prince.😀

Go for it. Upgrade and give away your old one to a trade school. ToT, Mike Rowe, and countless others would be proud.

​@@NOLAfugeea trade school buys new stuff. They should donate it to a Makerspace that supports anyone as opposed to one that's associated with an educational Institution.

@@RowanHawkins The in one year when the makespace looses its lease or folds one of the organizers takes it home or it winds up on facebook marketplace.

There are starving kids that would love to weld!

I am already the owner of a very capable welding setup, so I will forfeit my entry to allow someone else the opportunity to become a welding god

If I win I'm getting out the acetone immediately

@@mandrakejake me too, but I'm entering to win so I can scrape the autograph off to put on my own welder, gifting Tony's machine to the first homeless man (or woman) I meet.

Got it no scammers this time! the last video scam you had cost me $75 before I wised up and realized your Chanel had been used. I was heartbroken 😢 and not just cuz I lost my Christmas money

TOT TIG FTW

It's the reason I'm sitting this one out. Because, let's be honest, the autograph is worth just letting it sit on a shelf and never cleaning it. 😁

I probably wouldnt use it as much as it should be user neither. To be fair so did tony :P I do have 220 in my apartment but thats also the reason why im not allowed to enter xD

​​@@D3nn1sjust open the windows and the first project is a metal box to keep the splatter off the rug.😂

Luckily I'm an electrician by trade!

@@RowanHawkins well what im saying was that i live in europe hence im not allowed to enter, im sure i could fit a nice small welding table on my balcony if i really wanted to lol. However 230v welding sounds a bit sus to my european mind given that 90% of our shops equipment uses 400v 😂

@@Lucidbkeo then im sure you know that you can spotweld just by holding 2 powerlines together without a fuse in the line :D

That is clever and cool!!! Something Walter White would do . . . :)

220... 221... whatever it takes.

Желаю чтоб он к Вам вернулся как можно быстрее!

Good resale value? If I win, I'll keep it, of course.

@NOLAfugee I wasn't happy with the price, but neither was the guy who bought it. All in all, I think it was fair. Sold the welder, the water cooler, cups and consumables, the mask/apron/gloves. Everything but the bottle. Got $3800 for it, which kept my head above water. I'll get another one someday.

As a computer science guy, that clang and his -tidy and -format buddies sure do grant some mighty favors.

@@Phroggster That is such an obscure joke to make on a channel like this, but I C what you did there.

@@DanielHauser Found my tribe. :D

Rumour has it TOT doesn't live in the lower 48....so I was expecting entries from Europe only.

Just a simple, 'if you're european, fuck off' in the description would have done it.

You shut your mouth!! I’M in recovery for back surgery! What are the chances that two humans had a similar surgery?! We should meet up! (I’m so bored sitting at home)

@@koismit I'm sitting here, recovering from the same surgery.

he is the Vana White of the youtube universe for sure!

You can also imagine that I called you and did my best TOT impression. (It's not great, plus I have a cold, but pretend I'm better okay?)

I tried to do this but accidentally imagined I don't have a 220V outlet. I can only imagine what it's like to be so good at imagining things.

Did you know you'd been severed from the continent before this video, or was the news broken to you by Tony?

@@JohnYossarian I'd had my suspicions for a long time. When I was kid I wondered why the Stars & Stripes hanging on our wall looked completely different to the one I saw on TV. As I grew up I started to notice that all my friends, family, neighbours & colleagues spoke a different language. I mean, it was kind of the same but just not quite. Then one day in the winter of 1987 while waiting in line at the bank, I discovered the greatest economic conspiracy & most blatant fraud the world had ever seen. My greenbacks had an old woman wearing a funny hat on them! My whole world imploded & I've since constructed an elaborate, alternative reality for myself. It's the only way I can cope with this twisted existence. I tell myself it's ok, I'm just in Britain. Everything's fine, just keep drinking the tea & they'll never know I'm onto them.

Friends of mine occasionally ask me to weld stuff for them and I'm always overwhelmed with their gratitude and ridiculously generous presents as thanks for doing very basic jobs to a not-very-high standard. Kymcopyriot: you need some better friends!

Well that's what you get for your ancestors having stolen Trevelyon's corn and all.

Bold of you to assume I have friends, mate. 😁

Can I interest you in a laser welder? There are machines that actually use lasers for soldering, and welding too. The welding ones are rather scary - 2kw of lasers shooting out of the gun in your hand! But they're also amazingly quick, smaller heat affected area, no spatter, etc etc. LIke any good innovation, nearly undifferntiable from pure magic!

But think... micro-Tig soldering on smd components. Get a stack of dimes er a stack of ant-sized dimes holding down each side...

I like the thought of staring at a weld through a microscope lmao. I can smell my eyes smoking just thinking about it

😂

Eyes watering? What are you squinting when you weld? You're supposed to wear a helmet silly.

Son and I!

ligma

@@choochoo6526 nice one boomer 🥴 proper got them there

@@choochoo6526 balls

That would be so cool! You're awesome! I'm hoping to be able to give one to my brother. He's going to be graduating soon and he absolutely loves his welding class.

Most stuff donated to schools ends up sitting in a corner or in the garbage. Do you think they're really going to spin up a new course based on some old crap that someone dropped off? Most schools are cancelling all of their vocational training because of lack of funds for teachers to teach them. People always say this about computers - yes, that's what schools want, a bunch of mismatched random old junk riddled with viruses and spyware to deal with on an individual basis (as opposed to a bunch of new machines that are all the same that they can install once and then image the rest from). And they're going to use that old junk to deliver a consistent and quality product to the students?? If you want to donate them somewhere, find a local makerspace or something. Somewhere where they'll actually be used. Just know that makerspaces themselves are for-profit businesses.

nobody here is going to try and remove ToTs autograph

@@afg122602 agree, we all love him

​@@cipriandavid4995 oh Good, I was about to call up the Tony Mafia. But it seems we're all good here. Quiche?

If you have all that..then you can certainly afford to buy one yourself. Let someone who could actually use this and may not have the means to buy one have a chance. Seems pretty greedy.
