This has some promise! As a welder (by trade) I have seen some weird welders. Some that guys are using in Africa are nothing more that large versions of this made from scavenged parts.
Not a bad idea. I’m gonna add this to my list of projects to do in the future. I am a sucker for home made welders. This one seems alot more complex though…plus not as long lasting.
Even though Dad spent 40+ years in the welding biz,I never learned to do it myself. Since I am short of funds at the moment I am lookin for a few microwave ovens to recycle. I’ll make sure I post the results.

Not sure if it’s by the same person. Looks different.
