This is my first big weld job. Learned a lot, but at least the welds are strong and not bad looking. Will make sure to clean everything thoroughly, remove splatter and invest in some wire brush attachments for a drill.

Good stuff. Also, take that magnet off after taking, before welding. It'll ruin the magnet and could play hurry curry with you weld.

Ok so use the magnets, clamps check for square. Tac in the pieces, let them cool, take the magnets off and then weld. Gotcha! Thanks for the tip

Nice JDIGGS82

It would be really great if you could advise your settings, amps, machine, wire feed speed, wire diameter, materials thickness, gas flow rate, technique etc. This would really assist others.

Nice job

Torched off some rusted out metal (step area) from my demolition trailer, put some less rusty metal in its place.

Did this on a 6' x 9' coffee table I welded up for a friend. Lincoln 140 amp machine, 75/25 mix, .023" wire ( if I recall correctly). Image
