Anything welding

Yours actually looks better than my first attempt at higher amperage on steel. This was the CV joint housing I welded to the adapter flange for our baja SAE car.

This side I cleaned like crazy before welding.



The back side I just blasted with 180 amps (highest our welder went to) with almost no cleaning. You can see all the black carbon that spewed out.

 

Well thanks! and yes, I was being lazy and didn't clean it too much. lol I wouldn't say my weld is better than yours! I am still trying to be more consistent when it comes to starting and stopping. I just really need to spend more time practicing. I'm sure if I was able to weld every other day it would be a ton better!

 

Yup practice makes perfect. Just keep at it.

 

Structure that I'm building at work. Gonna be over 40 foot high when fully assembled


Did some welding on a D60 for my buddies Heep

 

Kinda new here, found this is where we are supposed to post our welding projects.

Here are a few trailers that I have built.

KO

 

Here are a few pics of the bump I built for My other truck, sorry it's a Tundra

 

Awesome work! Doesn't mater if it's a tundra, just not a Jeep

Welcome to TW!

 

dude, that walter sure is an espensive circle guide

had to comment as I see other people use them very seldom. I try and save mine for stainless but sometimes I cant help it and use them on some nasty steel. best flapper out there hands down.

well, in other news, I have my fingers crossed on an old sa200. . . .still not sure he will sell or for what price but im really hoping. maybe I will have a nice boring continental rebuild for you guys. who likes flat-heads?

 

Any TIG welders round here?

 

I'm in the tig program at Mt.SAC. Just finished aluminum and we are starting stainless today.

 

I'm in welding class currently. Im currently learning horizontal position on all metals. I've done 1/16" stainless and mild steel, 1/8" aluminum, and 1/8" mild steel

 

Oh right on! Looks like I won't be very beneficial to you for answering questions. lol

 

Yup . Love the hell out of tig

 

i miss tig so much, i work in an aluminum shop now and all i use is a 30A spool gun.

 

I'm thinking about buying a Miller Multimatic 200. Does tig mig and stick. Any of y'all use one?

 

Yeah, those Walters are spendy, but they last forever compared to the other shit thats out there.

The Toyota fog lights required a metric hole, trimming down spent disc to the correct diameter worked great and a bonus I was able to get a few more grinds out of the disc.

Later

Laid down some tig welds on 1/8" mild steel. 1/16" Stainless kicked my ass tonight.
