I've had to do that here in a pinch to keep running or order materials. I blew through at 30 amps! Luckily I was able to make a patch and find some better material, but had to work fast and be ready to feed the filler.
Nice work, I know how frustrating that can be, especially in the ceiling!
I weld stainless, stainless and more stainless...Food Industry, sanitary process piping, vessels, whatever is needed, I like to make stuff.

new to the forum and to welding in general(about 180lit of argon so far).. this is my practice 40mm aluminum pipe 2.5 mm wall thickes , basically a test post to see how to upload photos, hope it works

Ah yes... The man who wants to learn the hard way. I've never welded aluminum tubing so no pointers or judgment, but you picked the hard way to learn... But then again I beleive you learn something the hard way you do it better the easier way.
A student now but really want to weld everyday. Want to learn everything about everything. Want to become a knower of all and master of none.

Nice work Rick, did you purge? I just bought the FUPA 12, haven't used it yet though.
You'll like the Fupa, took me a little to get use to pushing the screens in. Yes when welded back purged...

Finished the flange side of my intake manifold. Next need to mount the fuel rail and then wait until the engine's back in the car to figure out the plenum dimensions

fabricating up, not dabbing up,spell ck sorry.....
Fabricating in the sense of cutting/fitting, yes. The bends are purchased from a supplier, and then trimmed to fit/weld. That pipe starts life as a 90 w/ a 6" leg and probably 24" or so, and then a pair of 90s with 6" legs. Tangent cuts on the 90s, and then a 45 cut with offset legs to get the vertical transition spaced correctly.
Welded at 250hz (those might have been welded at 75, I don't remember ) and 78% Balance. I'm not used to only having those settings to play with, I used Dynasty 350s at the other shop with independent amplitude adjustment. Not that the Dynasty 200 is a slouch by any means, but being able to tweak the arc just right makes for a rewarding experience. Or a nightmare. Depends on how far you turn the knob!!!
