I picked up a tank with some gas today, some .035 and some material, going to play around this weekend and try to build a little cart to hold my welder. I'll let you know how it goes.

huck271 Subscriberhuck271 started this Subscriberwell i didn't have a lot of time this weekend but I get get to connect the gas and take a crack at it. I only built part of the frame for my welder cart so not much to report. I don't think my welds look very good, but after some practice I believe I am getting good penetration. I don't think they look very good but after I take the grinder to them they look clean.
I am still interested in having a welding clinic to see if there are any tips or suggestions some of the pros on here could help us noobs out with.

I'd be interested in a clinic 🙂
I've started looking at welders and checked yours out you have a nice set up from what I've read.
huck271 Subscriberhuck271 started this SubscriberSo when is this Welder class going to happen? We should put a date on the calendar and everyone bring thier welders and some scrap metal. If we do it at my house lunch is on me. It doesn't have to be on the weekend either it could be a Thursday night or something. If we do a night thing, then I'll order Pizza and people can bring drinks.
