Where did you get the argon? That's a great price.I am literally out in the garage right now putting my TIG setup together and going to start practicing.

The bottle of Argon was only about 46 bucks and I believe I have enough filler rod for steel and aluminum to practice until I am ready to start making progress on some other projects.
