Welding Tips and Tricks

I walk into the shop today and my wife had dug out a half build horseshoe cactus sculpture I started a while back and the customer had backed out of the order and she was going to finish it and try to sell it. I looked at it and it was bent pretty bad and that is what triggered the conversation:
Me: How did you bend that, those were high quality 6013 welds?!?
Wife: 6013's suck!
Gotta love her.

I need a wife like that!!!!

Wow!

John,
Notice Matt did not say broke he said bent. I get to discuss things with my wife but it is usually one sided when it comes to technical or theory. Although she probably knows more about welding than alot of wife's.
I actually was working inside of a testing tank this week and wished I had some 6013 for the sheet metal. I will say it again, a true weldor can use ALL electrodes available to them. (Let the debating begin, again )
Matt,
Lets see your art!!

Here are some of our horseshoe stuff. When we finish the cactus I will post it and my wife is working on a table with horseshoes.

And that's the small stuff.
Where'd your website link go??

Matt,
It looks like you better do some welding on that T-111 siding before your shed is gone.

P.S. Tell the little woman, Nice stuff.

Here are the links to our sites. We are working on some big stuff right now. The picture of the star was it hanging on the wall in our apartment, the welcome sign is on the floor in our house, and the cowgirl sign was laying by my parents garage wall and we snapped a picture of it. We are finishing up the cactus and welding a table our of horseshoes now. Hope to have them up soon.

I love looking at that art work... but like someone said, you had better fix that shed... LOL.

Our work is never finished.. my garage is still a mess!

HW!

Thanks! That's my parents shed, they just put a new roof on it and are working on converting it into a wood working shop. My grandpa built it over 30 years ago and they are trying to keep it.
