It never fails that when I get it dialed in just right I'll change over to welding something different. If my livelihood depended on my welding ability, I'd starve. Lol that's okay! A good weld shouldn't be bubbled up, material doesn't make the weld, the penetration does. Low feed speed (I rarely go above 1 unless I'm filling in a hole) and a power setting of A or B is good for most materials. A gentle C motion while you're joining a seam will get you the best looking and strongest weld. Slow and steady is the name of the game.374Views0likes0CommentsRe: Step one. Bought the van.

Remote being the operative word since it's at least a two hour hike from the closest road to reach it. Of course if it was closer to a road some yahoo with a gun would have shot it up by now. Not all people with guns are 'yahoos'. -_-316Views0likes0Comments
