Re: Lets see some welding pics!
...all these years, you've been using a pencil holder as a catch can, and you didn't even know it!
Re: Lets see some welding pics!
Boning up for my 3G/4G welding test. I haven't done out of position stick in about 25 years, but it's slowly coming back.
1" plate 37* bevel, 7018 rods. Still having issues at the top with overheating and or travel angle.

man! I haven't checked this thread in a while! Lots of cool stuff going on here. How did they bend that stair case steel?? That must be one hell of a roller to handle that material.
Julian, looks like you got it going good on alum. I guess I need to practice up too!! That pencil holder looks nice!

For whatever reason, I'm much happier welding aluminum. Excited enough to finish up a 510 aluminum gas tank I've had "in progress" for 7 years.

I'm pretty sure that the desert truck/buggy industry is the pinnacle of tube chassis fabrication. Truly beautiful fabrication.Mattndew76 wrote:Here is a link to a good weld thread.

Here is another thread that will make you feel like a shit welder. John Marcella has to be one of the best AL welders on the planet.

John Marcella is the poster-child for Miller's new Dynasty 350DX machines... ...which is good for us because we get a few videos of him explaining some of what goes on in his mind...

Re: Lets see some welding pics!
Tested out the extreme low end on my new welder (Miller Syncrowave 350) on some razor blades. This was the first time I had tried this. It's a fun challenge. Machine was set at 10 amps and I wasn't quite using all of it.

Re: Lets see some welding pics!
What were all of your other settings? initial arc? I know I can turn mine down but havent tried, I think I have to access the more hidden menus to do that. I have heard that's how people weld aluminum cans together.....I want to try....
