Hobbiest welding
Posted: Thu Nov 24, 2022 8:29 pm
Hello there. As my name implies, yes, I'm an engineer with many hobbies.
I learned to weld growing up on the farm with my grandpas old tombstone stick welder. I eventually took professional classes pursuing my engineering degree. That said, until this past month, I haven't welded anything since 2005. So I'm here to learn and show what I do.
My welder is a Simder flux core welder. I prefer flux core for its simplicity. Its also small, weighing only 11 lbs total, and uses 110V. Its enough to handle all my current project plans. I have to stick with 110V for now, at least until I get power setup in the barn on my property. I just have to run a long extension cord out from the garage till then.
Below is a picture of my first major welding project. I'm almost done with it. Only a few more details to go.
I hope I get to learn and show off my skills here.
