Anything welding

Thank you sir

 

Dude that's awesome. Yeah tryin to do shit out of an apartment is crazy even if you live on the ground floor. The last apartment I lived in was on the second floor fuck runnin up and down to get shit. Post up some pics of your new play toy

 

My weld, Lincoln Weld Pak 100, Flux core wire.

 

That's better than what I have now. When I use it the tank is on the ground bungeed to my mower deck lol.

flapper wheels are awesome. What are you going to use for a jacket?

I highly recommend this video

It has tons of closeup that show you what's going on in the puddle.

 

Here are a couple projects I did for some local guys

Honda D16 Turbo Manifold




Turbo Cobalt Side Exit

 

Nothing new to add other than I am enjoying what little time I have to weld.
The "autoset" feature on the 211 is close to being spot on. Not much dialing in.
Got a piece of 1/4 in steel and some 20 gauge to practice on. Think I might make a welding table.
I also thought about moving the stinger on the front of my all pro bumper a tad towards the grill.
Glad I have great friends down here that let me have scrap and shit to practice on. Gonna try and hit the salvage yard this weekend.

Looking at the welds that are on the all pro bumper and me never have welded steel before, I think I'm a natural cause some of my welds look as good as theirs, I think.
Try and get some up this weeekend.

Right now, it's back to stackin dimes. mild steel style.

 

On a side note I must mention that it is VERY important to cover up any exposed skin.
I wore some leather gauntlets with a short sleeve shirt and noticed that I had some pain due to the sunburn from the ultra violet rays.
Good thing I wasn't welding nekid.

 

Nice!

It is super easy once you get the hang of it.
Also try practicing on some super thin stuff, or even worse, welding super thin stuff to some 3/16". Now that is hard lol.

 

I will try some this weekend.
You got my vote in the photo dealie Steve o.
Me startin out welding that was a great inspirational photo. gj mang.

 

Thanks, but to be honest, I didn't do that weld. Its on the aluminum frame of my brother's new bike.

 

Oh ok cool. It sounded like you thought I welded it. I wish I was that good!

 

I just picked up a Hobart 140 with cart and argon tank for 2 bills I'm ready for my sliders.

 

holy shit. Good find dude.
Hell, I gave 2 bills just for my gas.

 

Damn wish I could find a deal like that!!

 

Yeah the old man across the street passed away about a month ago and he had all kinds of nice shit in his shop. His wife sold it to me for 200 bucks she needed the money I told her id give her more but she wouldn't take it score for me

 

Great to find deals like that.
My buddy's buddy came over to hook me up with quad 120 outlets and a 240 in the garage on sat.
I only had 1 single dual 120 outlet in my entire 2 car garage.

We had agreed to a price before he did it and afterwards would not take a dime from me. Very professional job and although he wasn't certified, I watched what he did and he looked like a pro doing it.

I felt insulted somewhat and had to force a $20 on him for gas money.
Things just fall in your lap sometime and you have to be thankful that you know someone or have friends that have your back and would do things for you without pmt.

 

Kinda sad but sometimes folks are just happy to get rid of stuff knowing it went to a good place.

 

Yeah I think it had a lot to do with me running over to help her all the time when her 350lb husband would fall down dunk and not be able to get up by himself.

 

what is a decent price for this?
