Welding Tips and Tricks

Hi folks,

I design and weld practical items for home and business use out of my tiny (12x12 - UGH!) shop behind my house in downtown DC. Still a novice, almost all my stuff is done with my Millermatic 180. Practicing TIG when I have the time. I do this as a little side gig.
My day job is being a musician in a symphony orchestra. Jody pretty much taught me how to weld through his unmatchable videos on the youtube. Anyway, blah blah blah, looking forward to learning all kinds of new things here on the forum!

Peace,

Steve D in DC

Are you in the BSO? I'm in Arlington, VA. I teach band. We might know some of the same people.

Welcome Steve.

I'm afraid I'm not in D.C unless that stands for 'Distant Country'. I trust you'll learn a lot on here, there are some wise and talented people on these boards who have plenty of good advice to give.

What kind of 'practical items' are you putting together in that shop of yours?

Steve, welcome to the forum.

Hi Kym,

I have made many different things so far, mostly one-off custom items.
too many to list really! they range from workout equipment to furniture to roof racks. I think I will put some of them over in welding projects. seems like the place for that.

later, mate!
