Welding Tips and Tricks

I bought a plasma for my workshop and I decided to build the air compressor by my self using an old gas tank.

Here are some photos:










All on this photos was welded with a Lincon AC-225 Arc welder using 1/8 6013 rods

great stuff, i like the inclusion of the rock and roll welder.

Thank you Mike

No worries mate. Was it made because you had to, or because you wanted to?

Because I like build my own stuff, in other words.. I wanted to make it

Top stuff. Loooking forward to more pics of other projects.

I have a sortta new tank (was to be a smoker for a grill) and I have an old out of service 2-stage. I think you just inspired me to go see what I can do with it. Probably the paint job.

Looks good. New here, I will try to post of some old projects and current projects..

Current projects for us. Converting a CB550 to a cafe racer and today fixing a bent up brush guard. I have some ribs coming today so I will not need the smoker haha. Can not upload pictures since this forum does not auto size like mine does. Will attempt to take smaller pictures today.

Maybe, but first I will need to know how it works, I'm talking about the electic ones. I onky have a 3 filter system in my workshop I use it for air pinting and plasma too.
