How many of you guys weld?

beak · 10-06-2006, 06:54 PM

I just started myself... learning how to mig weld... it's easy, and hard at the same time. Still trying to learn the best way to do it... some say weld in circles, some say weld in a "C".

I'm going to get some pics of my welds up, so you guys can rate them.

Anyone here weld?

Haha... that's no good... make sure you get full penetration... practicing at home is good, it's relaxing and fun

Ah, circles are nice, but when you weld with a "C", it looks better I think?

I'm learning how to weld. My friend's Dad has his own machine shop and whenever I go over my friend and I make parts for my car. So far we made a muffler, and two exaust tips. I still need to installl them both.

Can you pick photos from the tab above, and click on "my album" from there create a new album, name it and you should be able to upload your pics from there. Let me know if you still need some help

nos-girl · 10-07-2006, 03:29 PM

reallyslowcolt · 10-07-2006, 04:02 PM

I know how to solder, does that count as welding?

nos-girl · 10-07-2006, 04:08 PM

Thanks!!! I think that took my a couple of hours or so, not a long time.

nos-girl · 10-07-2006, 04:57 PM
