Pretty good! Nothing broke off - I still go to the same farm to work and I think it probably needs done again. Blue stone is pretty abrasive!

Thanks very much for your information. It does sound like a lot of grief, but might be worth it in the long run. Maybe I’ll go the machining/spacer route to start and if that doesn’t hold together try a build up with weld. I’m just trying to figure out the lesser of two evils. Introducing filler met...

Evening all. I’m looking for some advise on a repair I’m thinking of making on a case off of a 1974 Triumph motorcycle I’m rebuilding. The rear engine mount was fargled by the previous owner.

I ran a few test pieces and I didn't think that my little Millermatic had enough ass to weld all the joints on ...

I'm thinking most of the welding is going to be vertical, I don't have anything big enough to move that thing so I can weld on the flat. I wasn't sure if the little Miller had e...

Hi, I wanted to say thanks to the "Tips and Tricks" community - great videos, podcast and regular human beings - a rarity in today's world. I learned to weld at night school in the UK - Stick (MMA as it was back then) and Oxy/Acetylene. Not ever very proficient though, but managed to stick...
