You are using vinegar to find free answers to your questions. AK's points are all valid in view of the little information provided by you in your question. The last piece of information you revealed was that this fixture is going to have some load on it and therefore could be repercussions if the weld failed. This means that these welds should be done by an experienced welder not a novice, so his advice might just save your butt if you take it.wish i could weld wrote: To AKweldshop I did not wake up one morning and know how to weld like you must have.
That is why the forum is here.
You can be assured AK's first weld was not a load service weld, he would have sweated many long hours on a bench with practice coupons just like you should be doing.
Try using some honey next time (and lots more information and even pics to help us help you), you might get more response. We like to keep this forum a friendly place, even though we rib each other often its mostly in good humour after we get to know each other.
