welding tips
Okay, I have never welded a thing in my life. Now I need to learn just for a few projects ( a few carts for my shop, , along with a few boat trailer modifications, and then some sheet metal on a scout and a few frame brackets). I am a wood guy, not a metal guy. I have watched a zillion videos, talked to quite a few welders, but at some point you have to actually turn on the machine and try to weld. I bought a hobart handler, am going to pick up a Norco argonc02 tank, get some scrap etal and give it a whirl. If any of those more skilled than me, which is everyone, want to give me some pointers, I am all ears. Thanks, Don

I started with stick and oxy/acetylene and moved up to mig. I keep thinking I need to combine a few of these and pick up TIG.

My buddy coaches me on tig welding, “when the vagina opens up, put the rod to it...”

My best tip is to pay someone else to do it.
