What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

So I recently acquired this beauty. I haven't had a chance to do a spark test yet but I'm fairly certain it's cast iron. There's a small crack I need to weld up but cast has always been my Achillese' heel. I'd love to hear any suggestions or comments, thanks.

Where is the crack/do you have a picture of the crack?
A student now but really want to weld everyday. Want to learn everything about everything. Want to become a knower of all and master of none.

I'll take a pic of the crack and post it. Meant to do that in the first place.

Here is a pic of the cracked piece. Sorry about it being sideways.

EB,

I sent you a PM. You have a relatively rare swivel base Paramo there. Weighs about 105# as she sits, and is most likely made well before 1950.
