I agree with Denis ,but as far as a welder goes spend the money and get
something versatile. preferably a TIG machine you can weld very thin sheet
metal ,stainless, and Aluminum . Miller Lincoln and Hobart very good machines.
Mig will do alot and is very user friendly. In my opinion

The blast cabinet and the parts washer are OK from Harbor Freight, but no on
the welder or the compressor..Anything that can wear, like a motor, will break
or wear out fast. In the film business we had a category of things called
"expendables" that you use up and go get more. That is what Harbor is good at.
Sears is not nearly as good as it used to be. I like Lowes for the welder and
compressor.

Well I got the final Bus that I was seeking and now with 4 I feel I have
more than my fair share, in fact I'm under the delusion that I have the mostest
beautifulest driveway full of Buses ever. His name is Wieder (pronounced as
Vee-der) the German word for again and in honor of one of my most favorite
songs ever, Immer Wieder (which translates to again and again or continually)
by Harmonia (an obscure Krautrock band) more recently covered by The Secret
Machines.
While Wieder was missing a guy was "fixing" him up and as far as I'm
concerned he only did damage that will take many hours to make right. His roof
rack is gone (but I know who has it). His bad ass grey interior has been
painted a sissy Caribbean blue. Bodywork was started so metal was exposed and
is now rusty... But he's still gorgeous in my opinion and he was the perfect
price. And like Mike's amazing acquisition, he has skylights added but for
whatever reason there a three of them and a small sunroof over the front seats.
Now I need tools like a parts washer, a blast cabinet, a compressor, a
welder! Harbor Freight has some good prices but is anything worth buying there?
