And here's what I welded today. Pretty huh?
The owner of the company collects 57 t.birds. If he'd had to drive to make money I'm sure he'd choose something a few decades newer.
This is a pic of a 16 ton press footpedal. The trip isn't adjustable but the brake kept creeping back on. (It runs continuous.. not single stroke) I just grabbed my fucks core and slapped a 1/4 rod to persuade it to play nice. Welding .
Some people don't get what nickel and diming really costs. People like us enable their ignorance by keeping shit running.

Stone knives and bearskins.....and a NEW EVERLAST 164SI !!!
That's my newly shared work welder.
At home I got a Power Tig 185 DV. Nice, but no plasma cutting... Nice tight arc after a second.

Decided to see if these rocket stoves are all they are supposed to be, will try soon, only had 1/8 inch 3 x 4 next one will be 14 ga. 4 x 4 made with intention of carrying in a bucket with a bunch of kindling and lid on top, I will be everyone's best friend on a wet morning and coffee is not ready.

I built a rocket stove. They are cool for 15 minutes and then....I gave mine to my best friend to take to his campsite. He amazes the neighbors by cooking sweet corn on it. He's having fun with it so it was worth it to build for him. If I still had it, it would have been cannibalized into something else by now.

Just started building one myself today. Got bored so I figured I'd make one at school. Of course I'm too cheap so it is gonna be angle and flat stock since I am not going to go and buy tubing. Should be interesting.
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.

Apparently you are not a camper like I am, this will allow me to make breakfast and use my pocket iso/butane stove for my coffee, while camping, then can leave camp to ride the dirt bike w/o having to snuff out a campfire in a burn ring beforehand. Probably get several hours use out of it.exnailpounder wrote:I built a rocket stove. They are cool for 15 minutes and then....I gave mine to my best friend to take to his campsite.

Gotta get a napkin after this one... Hot damn.
How the F do you get consistency like that? Looks like a (curse word) robot welded that stuff.
What's your settings? I want to be like you when I grow up.
if there's a welder, there's a way
I couldn't weld like that in my dreams! Damn! Beautiful work 5th Street

As if you weren't going to practice more. No welder on here doesn't need more practice nor do they not practice.electrode wrote:I better go practice some more...

Thanks guys. I don't have any settings really it's just a transformer syncrowave 250. Just 7-10 on the balance. I hate having a long stick out on aluminum, don't know why. It just takes hood time and learning to read the puddle. Anyways thanks for looking!

I noticed in one of your pics an aluminum flange for an NPT plug. Is there a brand of flange or bung that you prefer? I am looking to source some to have in stock for adding drains to pontoons.
