Hello everyone, I am trying to find some more welding forums/sites. Do you know any other "GOOD" sites where everyone communicates well? I signed up for the "Longjevity" site but I have problems with lag times and cannot type PLUS for some reason I don't feel comfortable there......

would someone give me "Jodys" channel on YOUTUBE??? I need more inspiration?

Thanks, yeah it is nice but I think the metal may be just a hair to thin on top... I have some 3/8" and my ForceCut 80i just shipped today from Cali... so next week I will make a nice top. Do you all think 3/8" is thick enough? I will look down at the scrap yard tomorrow for a semi brake d...

Absolute KUDOS... very nicely done. I love it!

I looked her up... OMG... it's like that movie "CONTACT" when Jodie Foster says "words can't describe it, they should have sent a poet"...

This girl reminds me why I love brunettes... LOL! Thanks for making this thread so nice... hehe

Hey Bill, your right.. I was just looking at her face.

I would liquidate all my "assets" for just one night... ummm, maybe not. I have 3 tractors and I love them too...

Hey carl...If you hada chick like that standing ANYWHERE close while you were welding....Your "SLAG" would most surely look like John's in his "7024 200 amp" post...And i doubt seriously it would have anything to do with Steve & Johathans reply about cialis OR viagra....lmao...

Thanks everyone. First answer is I am using 6013 "Lincoln rods" but they are almost gone (2 left out of 10lb). I have watched almost all of Chucke20009s' videos.. he is the one who after the video series "torture testing a Chinese machine" (Longjevity 42i) I purchased a ForceCut ...

Hey everyone, as you know I am a newb and each day I practice weld I have thoughts and ideas. Today I was practicing and lowered my amperage to find that my slag now pretty much falls off on its own. My question is: Can we judge our weld by the slag? Another words, if the slag just about falls off b...

I'm a newbie at welding period. I went last week and purchased my first ever stick (Hobart 235 AC/DC LX) and I am having a blast. Got to thinking I NEED a table, something solid. So off to the local scrap yard and low and behold they had just the right thing, it had been there for some time the guy ...

Thanks everyone....

Thanks for the replies and compliments... lol. I would love to buy one of those gauges... ebay? is it just called a "fillet gauge"? I will look it up, have not seen anything like that at Tractor supply or Rural King in my area...

Thanks, very cool pics too!

As a newbie, I have been creating bead pads for a couple of days and I have also "fab'd" 2 things... they look like crap but I think they will hold up nicely. So, my primary question is: Is the weld/bead supposed to be arched, flat, have a valley or what? Here are some of my latest welds a...

See what happens when newbies open their mouths... LOL!

Well, I figured as much. I am close to several of my Motorcycle friends and when we post odd stuff it doesn't always "look" appropriate but it is all in fun!

Glad I could stir the pot this morning! LOL

Now I am going to post a question...

I joined this forum to learn and then I read a couple of comments and I get the feeling that not everyone is "supportive" of others accomplishments. Personally, the weld looks "good" to me but as a newbie with ZERO welding experience it may be weak, not straight and little wide a...

I know I am a newbie here but I found these apps from Miller for the Iphone etc.. and it is great when you want to look up amperages needed. I love it but just like a couple of others have said it should be on the box... But what happens when you toss the box and put them in a holder??? Anyway, here...

Thanks Otto (funny, that is the name of the town my parents live in) I could talk about myself all day... lol so i wanted to upload a couple of pics, my first 2 fab jobs! wahoo, i feel like a new dad! lol So how does a newb go about posting pics? thanks and i too get bored very easily, i think i hav...

I too am new, welcome Robert and good to see another hobbyist with such a diverse background...

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and new to welding in general. I had a mig welder years ago and traded it off in a tractor trade... should not have done that as it was a very nice little mig. Now I currently have a piece of crap 80 Campbell Hausfeld but it has helped me when I needed it. I ju...
