Re: Steve, missing in action?
Quite right on all counts. We lost one of my brothers late on Thursday the 14 shortly after discovering multiple inoperable cancers. I had performed one show that night, with three to go, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. There was nothing I could do, so "the show must go on" was my therapy. O...

I want to thank everyone who agreed to participate in this!
That little "middle of nowhere" schoolhouse has been getting post cards from around the world.
Much love to my friends in the welding community.

Re: Ac pulse arc welding using tug setup
Actually, stick welding with a remote, like a pedal, is quite common in Europe. I'd think it quite handy for 308/309.

You people are amazing! Thank you for the responses. I can't wait to see how the class feels about all this.

A tiny K-8 school in the place I grew up has an interesting project. They are trying to get post cards from all 50 U.S. states sent to their school. I've been getting friends involved privately, but now that I know the address I have is for the school itself, and not someone's private mailbox, I'm e...

Inverter vs transformer vs the rotary style found on gas powered units. Buzz boxes and the limitations on ac only machines. I know Jody h...

Welcome on! Welding can be very addictive. I hope your local CC has a good course. There are too many schools these days that half-ass the trades because the focus today is sending kids after useless four-year degrees. Keep us updated!

Re: Nonstructural MIG weld
Scotty, For your purpose, no. A concave weld on an outside corner should not be an issue as long as you see some penetration on the inside of the joint (or run a second bead, a fillet, inside the joint). Hood time will make you better at getting flat to slightly convex welds that won't need grinding...
