Hello community,
I have long desired to learn how to weld - although it is not my career, and likely will never be, I still want to learn.
I have purchased a Miller Multimatic 200, and still tooling up my garage to get everything out of it that I can.
I have struck an arc with a friends TIG machine, and did some really ugly welding on a race car seat. Other than that day, I have never run a welding machine, short of a few flux core MIG beads just to test out my new rig.... I was too giddy to wait on gas bottles and the likes to think about being patient.
So I'm here to learn... I'll be looking for help on how to get started, the sort of thing I won't hear or see on YouTube...
Its great watching really skilled people lay really beautiful beads on YouTube, but that doesn't really help me understand what I'm doing wrong, other than, I know I'm doing something wrong - It would be nice to see video reviews of someone else's less skilled work, and diagnose the mistakes.
Therefore, I'll be asking lots of really stupid questions - please be patient with me....
