After recently doing a wrought iron fence repair, I realized how important the grounding aspect of MIG welding is. This is especially true in fence pieces that don't exactly squeeze together during fit-up, one side is grounded, while the other side is not.
After seeing Jody's piece on using stripped welding lead as a way of enhancing your ground, I decided I needed something like that. A while back I bought a 100 ft of 2/0 cable for fifty bucks off of Craigslist. Also, I wanted to improve the Jody design by adding a couple work clamps so I could buss the ground all around. Harbor Freight has clamps for about $7, they also have cheap-ass jumper cables for $10. So I bought the cheap cables and got four clamps in the deal. So I ditched the little tiny red and black cables and made my new stuff.
