Good video! Nice job with the controls. I used to do commercial appliance repair as an add on to refrigeration, AC and heating, and I enjoyed learning things watching your video, including about welding, I thought also that pulling that square root of 7 out of your head on the spot was pretty cool. Thank you very much posting the video. On angle grinders we've had our share of closer than close calls so, ... everybody, be careful, keep the grinder guard on, except when you are making a video, and don't let what you are cutting pinch the blade, as explained in the video, because high speed angle grinders are extremely dangerous.

Nice build. As mentioned in another comment I used a double oven and just joined the doors but made them a side open instead of a bottom open. 1 thing I did different though is I used a PID controller with both elements running at the same time to give a better more consistent heat. The oven controls give a broader range of heat. If you set it at 400, the controller cuts off and on at wider ranges so keeping a constant 400 is nearly impossible. Just an option.

I have a millermatic MIG, a generic TIG and an AC/DC Lincoln arc and I prefer the miller for everything up 3/8" steel.

I did the same but I placed a piece of steel underneath on the back to give it some counterweight.
