Welding Tips and Tricks

I like the "what I welded today" thread in the TIG and MIG section. Are you guys afraid to show off your stick welds?? Or is it that stick welds usually are less interesting projects? By that I mean, I don't see ZANK weld his quality stuff with stick...

I am not going to start off with pictures of my projects just because I don't have any pictures from them....

You've got my vote !!

Well you're one with a lot of welding projects, care to show some?

No problem,
Give me a few mins.

Yep that's the way I like to see my welds! (Don't always succeed though)

Well here is some pics if you are interested.
Only stainless weld in my computer now.. sorry for that.

Nice work : ) 7024 or what?

My once off as well

Builded Friday a swivel stand for my drill press and band saw. No pics yet. Will update Monday.
Better have it and not use it than need it and don't have it.

Since there's no "LIKE" button here....


when you make its maiden run you give me a call Ok?

1/8" 7018 at 135amps.

Here's some vertical up 1/8" 7018.
115amps.

1g smaw.....1/8' 7018 135amps.

So I changed again my mind and put my chop saw with my drill press on the swivel table.
Maybe not the most efficient way to do it but with limited space it works for me.

Why would I buy a thing for a tenner if I can make it for fifty.

nice
simple and funtional

No weld pics but here is one of my biggest projects I ever welded. Needed a place to store the feeds for our cows (I am a dairy farmer). Before we received a factory made mix that we would unload underneath a low roof so the truck had to tip outside and we had to push the product in with a wheel loader.

We had a whole bunch of galvanised steel from various sizes laying around from a previous barn build. Some pieces were obsolete others got replaced (the building came down when it was in first stage of erecting it)

So we decided we could build a new building so that we could buy single products in full truckloads. Made a list of the beams we had and I drew out a design on a piece of paper. Biggest challenge was the floor had allready been poured years before, but had slopes to various sides. So columns had to be different lengths. Plus being different sizes it was quite some calculating. Cut them all to length, welded plates on them with holes so it could be bolted in place. Quite a project for a first time...

But it all fit perfectly together when we put it up. Roof and walls are new steel, and the horizontal profiles supporting the roof sheets are also new. Rest is all used. dimensions are 10 meter high on the front 17 meter wide and about 16 meter deep.

Here's a 6010 root (no roll-out), done on sch. 80 carbon, 12", if I recall. Buffed it, because it didn't show at all otherwise.

Here's two more of the same blind leg I was building for hydro-testing a steam system.
Been a while...

I think this is a good idea, and I think I'll rename the topic accordingly, unless the OP objects.

[EDIT] That was easy! Two bits of punctuation, and done!

Note it only changed in the main page heading, not the individual posts since this began.

Test message, to see if my header changed.

[EDIT] It did!

Steve S

Good idea, DennisZ!

Thanks Steve.

Nice job.

I got to do some welding for a few hours last night, demoing the new pm210mp.
Did some 3g filling on 3/4" plate.

Looking good John. How does that machine run compared to other Lincoln models? What about compared to Everlast?

They all weld similar.....I honestly couldn't tell much difference between all my Lincolns.
Everlast machines weld 7018 just as nice.....
