Anything welding

I dont know much about welding, but they looks like good welds. They might be a little cold, but i dont really know im talking out of my ass.

 

It looks like you're off the joint for the first bit of the weld but otherwise, they look good. So does the table. What are you going to top it with?

 

Man I'm dyin for a welder. How did most of you guys learn? My parents want me to take a class and go from there but there is absolutely nothing around here

 

I wish I were in that situation. I may just buy a cheap one and play around with it until I know what I'm doing and upgrade from there

 

I have just taught my self. Watched a couple videos.

 

Thats what i did, i have a $100 welder from harbor freight.

 

IDK if this has been mentioned before, but for emergency trail welding I read something similiar to this in 4x4 magazine. This guy is using 3 batteries but in the mag they only used 2.

What's the thickest you can weld? And i assume it's a 110 right

 

Its a 90 amp welder and on there website it claims up to 1/2" ? sounds kinda big to me.

 

Haha damn 1/2" maybe I won't need to upgrade from that afterall

 

Here it is, i dont know if i would trust it welding 1/2"

 

Hey man I have a Lincoln electric Mig in storage I don't remember what model it is but I do know it's the cheaper one. I'm going to be selling it when I move in a week or two if your interested.

 

I'm interested but don't know if ive got the funds. I swear there's gotta be 500 threads of me saying that over and over haha. I'm a full time athlete and I'm still in high school, and I do *try* and save for college but we all know where the money goes . I really do appreciate the people on this site for all the help and guidance. I'll shoot you a pm tomorrow Jason, I'm headin to bed right now...nothin like wakin up at 4:30 for swim practice

 

I might be interested in that if your willing to ship to me, ill pay if its not too much.

Send me a PM with the specs on it and a price and pics if you have some.

Thanks

 

Pm sent

 

Thanks man, yea its hard for that first bit, im useing one of those cheap 20 dollar welding hoods so im blind until i start a bead.
Im going to top it with a 3x4ft sheet of 1/4in

 

Most likely that thick only with multiple passes to get the heat needed to penetrate. I still wouldnt trust that small of a welder to do 1/2" though.

 

I got one of those auto-darkening hoods. What a difference it made in starting. I was blown away.

 

Yea the auto darkening Helment helps so much with starting a weld.

 

maybe headed to the mancave to try and work on my welding table. It's small but it's really just practice for me.
