Anything welding

ive been eyeing the hobart box. would like to weld my hf trailer together at some joints and modify it some.

 

I love my Hobart 140. Crazy how much stuff you suddenly need the welder for after you buy one lol!

 

yea that may cause myself issues, haha

 

You can do what I did, chop the front frame of your truck off at the firewall then go buy the welder.

"Damn honey to get that all back together I need to do buy some tools..."

 

that needs to happen if i ever want to sas this damn thing. gotta get out of this single car garage thats filled with other toys now.

no honey for me so i dont have to explain

 

Nice. It's a good process to focus on. A lot of large fab jobs use that process. Pay attention to that. And don't be that guy who doesn't know how to use a torch. Haha.

 

That's pretty much what we did at my school, but we had 3/8 plate and 1/4 backing strap. I think we may have set our machines at 24.5 though.

 

I've been working on a job in Oklahoma running flux core. Had my machine set at 32 and 400 a few times. Fucking love it lol

 

Just how did you manage to burn your hand ??

I seem to only burn myself trying to cook.

Students are missing quite a lot not learning Oxy-fuel welding

 

OA cutting. Learn to cut, then with a guide, then practice freehand. Learn how to cut tanks (verified to not be under pressure or flammable) that are filled with water. All skills that will make you marketable to an employer.


Oxy fuel welding is neat. I believe the local Tec still does a class on it. Great for remote work. But luckily the genny fits in the bed of the truck these days. Haha.

 

I finally bought myself a machine!

 

Looking forward to a review.

 

"With a rebel yell!!!"

 

I am sorry for your loss!!

I wish you the best of Luck!!

Very many of my Distributors will no longer sell Esab products or any of the rest of the companies they own and are trying there best to destroy .

Now it takes months to get simple parts I have a few customers machines failed out of the box never having struck a arc .

 

Miller or Lincoln FTW

 

Fabbed up the drift boat rower seat. There will be straps going from bar to bar for seat bottom.

 

When do you plan to have the first official launch ??

So true, best $$ I've ever spent. Hobart and the Hypertherm air.

 

I like the wood blocks with the cut outs for the tank. I replace my chains with web straps. No more rattling around with the can cinched up tight to the cradles.
