Nothing particularly nice or even TIG but I wanted to post here to ask you guys: after learning, becoming comfortable with TIG and only doing that for a while, did anyone else find their MIG technique changed? I'm finding that on 1/8" and thinner sheet metal, I'm MIGing like TIG, in that I'm stacking hot tack welds. I find it lets me use a lot more heat without flooding in a pile of wire to keep from overheating the joint. Ends up giving me a nice flat bead profile with piles of penetration and low heatsoak. In the pic below, the two fresh pieces are joined with a few continuous runs but the rest is all this approach I described above.

Trying a different way of mitering for the first time.
3mm 6063 welded with 3/32 4043 filler and 125 amps torch switch only, 150 Hz and 35% EP
Little grainy but I just wiped off the Sharpie lines with acetone, no other cleaning.

Thx Richard
Here it is done with styro-foam cladding
Will be used for noise supression of a pump.

any reason for the different miter patterns?
looks cool though i must admit.
styrofoam (expanded) like you might find in a togo coffee cup
is mostly air which is a good conductor of sound.
to truly deaden you will need a dense material,
suspended between the inside and outside surfaces. even
better install a soft foam material inside surface to remove the echo
factor.
hope this makes some sense...lol

Yeah, I know there are better materials to use but this will do for now.
No reason for the miter pattern other than for the look. Just wanted to try it out on something even if it was overkill in this case
Adds a lot of strength though compared to miter two and just drop down the third leg. Maybe stress relief is a better wording.

Come on Steve-your work is phenomenal and you know it. Your skill is amplified by the fact you do it all in weird places and posistions. So stop talking yourself down dang it!Otto Nobedder wrote:...Must be time for me to post some of my epic fails, again...MosquitoMoto wrote:Some lovely work showing up here lately guys.

None of that prevents me from having epic fails. We all do, at least once in a while. Some days, you're the hammer. Some days, you're the nail.Farmwelding wrote:Come on Steve-your work is phenomenal and you know it. Your skill is amplified by the fact you do it all in weird places and posistions.

Well of course that's true Steve. That's just a part of life. Gotta have a screw up every once in awhile. All I'm saying is you don't give yourself enough credit(seems to be a theme with people in the trades...)

Not all People in the trades only the ones that care what they do and strive to be better. I see laziness all the time in my trade guys don't even what to learn why things do what they do they just want to swap parts out instead of fix issues. Its sad to see finding people that apply themselves is getting harder and harder

I was going more on the side of that people in the trades who are really good, don't give themselves enough credit for their work. Very humble people. I am sure that it is the case in most work environments.Just Nick wrote:Farmwelding wrote:Well of course that's true Steve. That's just a part of life. Gotta have a screw up every once in awhile.

I run a service truck for a union mechanical contractor. I agree 100%. But armed with that simple knowledge, a person willing to act on it will be putting themselves in a position to excel well beyond average. By doing so they will make sure they are not only employed long term but they will be "in demand". Those same people will also be paid $$$$$$ a premium for the work they do.
I have more questions than answers

Trust me you can live without a CNC plasma cutter for now. Don't need to get the wife to mad. If you wanted to get into custom signage or you need to cut a lot of similar parts and could make a decent check doing it-maybe then consider it.Coolidge wrote:CNC plasma cut?
