    Ummmmm I grabbed them off a shelf in the shop at work. :rofl:
    I did blow the dust off of them though.
    I saw the rod ovens you're talking about when I was looking around at welding stuff. Never actually seen anyone use one though

    It’s great! Wish it was a little bigger! But for the price it’s great!

    Got my fixture table finished this evening. Turned out just as flat as was advertised. Once I got my feet adjusted, no more rocking from the legs either. So far I like it.

    Lmao good to know. One more question, do you do the little circle pattern or U's?

    I'm used to F on this picture from MIG, but it seems A is pretty common for larger gaps. But I also read that almost no motion is necessary for most small gaps on thinner stuff and that seems weird to me.

    It's funny that you're asking me with my two weeks worth of experience :rofl:
    I was just now starting to wonder about that stuff myself. All I've been doing thus far is trying not to drown in the puddle or outrun it.

    Anytime I’m talking with anyone about welding, and they’re like “well I wanna get a welder and learn how to weld, but I just don’t know what I’d do”, it’s stuff like this. I’ve done so many misc little bullshit projects where it’s nice to be able to weld. Sure some things could get by without it, but it’s in my top favorite purchases that’s truck related.
