The problem with welding forums is they are full of welding junkies.Guys with 8 machines crammed into a one car garage 2 blocks from Walmart.

Been wanting one for quite a while.Hadn't seen the "right "one.....until now !

Cool video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMlwyqUgJj0 Part of the fun of welding steel with gas, is you can see the color temperature of the metal as it heats up. With TIG, the helmet eye shade is a bit too dark to see those nice color tones that cue you to what is going on. I own a MultiPlaz we...

In China, they do it with style. Now that is funny, especially when you consider the fact that they make all the cheap welding helmets. :lol: If I wanted one, I wonder if that helmet comes with a welder or a welder comes with that helmet..... It looks like it has a grind mode too. Just remove the g...

Keep it simple and NO BACKLITE

This is exactly where a torch, a #1 tip and some RG45 reigns king.Nice and slow.

Somebody could mod-make a set of dies for a rivet gun. You know any good machinists ? Lighten up the spring considerably and squeeze away.

What are the general guidelines for quoting a job for some one? I don't run a shop but when i am home off the road people always seem to have projects or ideas to build something and i have never had a good rule of thumb to price the work.

I must be one of the lucky ones. I can write with either hand, shoot basketball or darts with either hand, etc. Me too. I tell people the easiest way to begin practicing in the modern world is to only use your left hand to run the computer mouse. That gives dexterity and gets rid of the jerky movem...

See if you can get the receipt and take it back.The 'tard behind the counter should go for it unless it's a true "murkin" with a name tag and delusions of grandeur(company man). Get a used AC225-235 off a list or in a bay.With that, a nice collection of electrodes and some practice ? You c...

Hi, I just posted few weeks ago my first question here in the forum, well I'm working on the roof structure of a small work shop of mine, and today I started to have a very annoying problem with my Lincoln 180 MIG welder.

The difference may not be huge. But those of us who weld quite often or for a living with stick... It is hard to describe in words. For 7018 there is none better than lincoln excalibur.
