Anything welding

I went with the fabBlock model, and that sucker is STOUT, but I have no doubt that their others are just as strong.

 

Oh nice!! The fablock comes 1/4” thick plate too I think

 

This is too big of a gap to fill

 

I've done it plenty with the help of 16 penny nail.

 

I used a piece that i cut off to fill in, and i will cut it off after im done

 

Turn the heat down a little, and work the puddle back and forth around the end in a U shape. You can absolutely close that up with just weld.

 

Proper fit up is half the battle

 

I'm trying.

 

Just what process are we using Here ??

Stick welding run stringer beads on both sides to you can close the gap keeping close watch it does not get to hot

Then it depends just what that piece is going to do .

Mig welding I would pretty much use the same style

 

Thanks

 

Will try turning the heat down @Arcticelf. But for now Ive moved to the next corner. Decided not to mitre. This is just a tack for now. Need to do the other sides.

 

Turned down heat, slowed movements. Better results

 

Building the framework for a bed drawer

 

Haha. Thats the plan next. I just wanted to show you guys, so you can help me improve. I will be grinding though.

 

Mitered corners

A fixture.

 

@fatfurious2 notice the heat markings on mine, you want to see that to indicate you're getting good penatration.

 

Quick and dirty attempt at some stabilizer legs for camping ... probably need to enlarge the foot to work in the dirt but I’m thinking this might work.



In other news, hot metal is really hot. Kinda surprised I made it this long before burning myself...

 

Nice idea.

 

@fatfurious2 check out welding tips and tricks I literally learned how to weld from watching his videos his arc shots are unreal you can really see and understand what is Goin on with the puddle, also practice there's no way around that one that I know of.

 

If this trucks a rockin don't come a knockin! Am I right or am iI right
