Re: avoiding distortion in thin plate 3/16"
Thanks Weldmonger, I went and tried to make the plate even more flat, and I screwed up. I made the thing so dished, that I cut the offending 8" piece off, and I think I will be able to make the big piece flat by bolting it to my cabinet (thankfully made of steel tubing) I think after I get that...

avoiding distortion in thin plate 3/16"
I am making a cabinet with drawers and I am putting a 3/16" top on it. I've added a 8 inch piece (X30 in) to a 48 X 30 inch top. I have a stick, tig and mig welder (only .025 wire). I attached the 8 inch piece and tig tack welded it about every 6 inches on the front and back. I straightened it ...

How to get past a tricky part on 5G, sch 80 pipe?
I'm having a hard time getting my 1/8th rod to stick to 4" pipe in the 5G position. I certified in the 2G, but I guess gravity has better leverage (or something) which causes my properly bent 1/8" rod to fall out of the groove at the second pass. Everything is clean and shiny. I have 4&quo...

How toxic is tungston?
HI, I am just wondering how toxic tungsten is and if I should take more precautions while grinding my electrodes. Is tungsten considered a 'heavy metal' (like lead is)? I have my 'shop' indoors, and it's in my living quarters, so any dust will fall on the carpet and I vacuum it up. Just wondering-TIA!

Re: Practacing outside corner joints
Make sure that the stuff that you are cleaning the oils off with IS NOT CHLORINATED. UV light (Tig puts out a lot) will turn chlorinated solvents to phosgene, which is extremely poisonous. A lot of welders have died in closed areas when chlorinated solvents are present.

clear (Pyrex?) TIG cups-opinions?
Hi, I'm a very beginning welder, who just got a Everlast TIG 210EXT (partially on Jody's reviews-Thanks!). I haven't started it yet (waiting on a argon bottle) but I would think that the clear pyrex cups would be helpful in seeing the weld puddle. They aren't entirely cheap (at least compared to the...

Hello from California!
Hi, I'm a beginning welder, I've just started taking a basic welding class at the local community college. I'm looking to make a career change, eventually. I've been checking out Jody's videos, they have been helpful in many ways. He even has given some reviews on welders that I am interested in (wh...
