I did those too. They didnt hold up as well due to tire rotations and what not.

 

Probably better than rusty-grey

 

So I'm welding a bunch of bench frames; letting my longer joints/welds cool down I decided to run a bead super fast on some scrap



I'm genuinely surprised at myself even at how I intentionally half-assed this weld and it looks really good, not to mention penetration all the way around.

@treyus30

No go on the aluminum welding.

I don't have enough extra scrap to dial it in or figure it out. It's a whole different animal with this gun

I'll try my hand at using a spool gun once I get one.

My welds are the bottom ones, as T joints -



This is the outer edge, more like a butt joint since there is no open corner. My welds are the bottom ones again -

 

Clean your alum before welding with a stainless brush that has never been used on ferrous metal, always have an aluminum specific brush. All the black is impurities, start slow and dwell for a moment before ending with alum. You started cold, takes a second to make alum take heat, it dissipates super fast.

 

Yes sir, I did just that; cleaned it as best as I could with a new wire wheel. It's a spare one separate from my stainless steel one.

The black only appeared after I welded.

And what I wasn't expecting was the pre-flow before any actual welding when I'd hit the trigger.

I think instead of learning on a machine I've never messed with, I'll learn in class

 

@Speedytech7

Only setting I messed with was this -



Realistically I should've looked up voltage settings too as I didn't mess with that at all nor did I look up to see what this setting is for -



Bad reception in the shop.

 

Strange! Must be sound deadening.

 

*knees tap anxiously*

 

@Empty_Lord

 

It sure made a cool sound when it came out haha. That oval shaped hole had a cap on it that was sealed. I'm sure the heat from the fire created a lot of pressure until it finally found its weak spot and popped the cap. It was a very interesting moment I was glad my back was turned but I really wish I could have seen it. Next time I'll drill a hole in the drum first



It was nice after that

 

It'll buff out.
I regret not keeping the 09 I tipped

 

@Kwikvette Sofia's program is talking about how delicious crayons are made

 

Oo that's very photogenic

 

Only reason I’d consider the red Ron is cause the cab doesn’t look bad in the pictures, but it might be crunched too

 

TONIGHT WE SHALL FEAST

@Fernando

 

FUCKING LOL

 

Supposed to use Blue Streak to match King shocks

 

tf is blue streak? I have ADS thanks to you, which is one I away from sketchy

 

ADS for the win

But Blue Streak is the color King uses for their coils.
