NJ B.S. Thread

Well i guess we set up a day to do a triple install.

 

I'm still waiting on the kit :/ but we can lift you guys while I wait, that will keep me occupied

 

Also, since we're on the welding subject. Just found out I have access to one thru a friend, sounds like a low power one but a welder nonetheless... Let the fab work begin

 

The welder Ant has is really nice. Im not sure which model it is but it lays beads beautifully.

Also to your lift install offer I asked a few people to help... Ant is the closest to me and he said he would be willing to help me when I am ready and his schedule lines up... Maybe if you ask him you can come down and he can sit back and just point to what needs to be done on eveyones truck and drink the beer we bring lol

 

@The Hunter @Tatts521 what you doing this weekend?

 

i am going to be getting someone to come wire up a 220 in my garage so I can get a welder... Or 2

 

Playing paintball on sunday at long live paintball in Old Bridge... Saturday im not going anything... Friday I got 24 hour duty

 

So maybe Saturday install?

I haven't played in a while but my gun still works! Idk if I've played there ..we usedto go to fireball mountain

 

You getting the coils put on at a shop? @The Hunter

 

LLP is the new fireball mtn. I used to work at LLP before the CG so I get to play for free just pay for paint

 

Coils are already put together. I had a second set of coils from a VA member who gave them away after he totaled his truck in Moab... But I have to wait til @HomerTaco can get me the LCA bolts. Hes busy with work after his vacation... Im not in a huge rush to install it... Itll happen when it happens.

 

That's more the person doing the welding than the machine...

@Tatts521 Hobart, Miller, and Lincoln are the big 3. You're going to be welding 3/16 and 1/4 plate, so buy at least a 180 if you go mig. Even better if you can go with a 220v welder.

Flat welding is simple and you can just as easily learn to stick (arc) weld and mig weld. Any time gravity is involved is going to be harder to do especially just starting out because no matter which welding process you use, the slag pool wants to fall to the ground.

On a mig welder, your hand stays in place and a motor pushes the rod for you. On a stick machine, you move the rod with your hands. Stick is a simpler machine mechanically, while mig is more convenient.

My uncle (hey now I sound like Hunter) spent 40 years as a millwright using a stick welder. 7018 lays some beautiful beads that don't require much cleanup.

 

@pittim thank you sir.

 

Check with your local community college. They probably have a welding class, and you'll probably start out with using a stick welder.

 

Can anybody read this? Having issues... Says I can't view this thread

 

This! Im enrolling to get some certifications this fall. CG pays for schooling at the moment so I am taking advantage of it!
