Re: Welding 1/2 Plate
These are mostly things on my list to do. I’m fixing to make a welding cart, mostly for more practice but that’ll take care of my bottle. I’m not so concerned about the drywall as it is inherently Fire resistive but I hadn’t thought about the peg board. I could see fire getting behind there and runn...

Re: Welding 1/2 Plate
Dang now I’m torn. Maybe I will bolt it down but I like the idea of a few stitch welds too. I read somewhere that when welding two different thicknesses you’re supposed to set your machine to the thicker metal? You guys disagree? Finally is 1/8” 3” legs with 1/8 2” square tubing for framing strong e...

Welding 1/2 Plate
Hello all, Brand new welder here. I've been practicing beads with my Hobart 130 amp and I'm ready to start my first project. I'm fixing to build a shop table that will double as a welding table for various tinkering. The legs for my table are going to be 3" or 4" 1/8" square tube weld...
