When my Dad was teaching us to weld , he said to make it sound like scrambled eggs frying, and then you know your doing it right...

Yea that's stout looking allright... That is going to be handy as all getout.

Good find on the glass particles ---- 25lb boxes of plastic beads cost me too much. How much does that glass wear out the tips? How's cleanup?

If anybody has a critical project they need done, I am a WABO certified welder, and I do have my own equipment.

I'll keep you in mind for critical load-bearing jobs, and watch 'n learn while you are welding. $30 an hour plus gas?

Welded the frame together for my homemade, but to ensure that i didn't screw up also bolted the members together. Holds 7 tons so far, but have to get new tires

Speaking of welders, i heard this joke when I was up north working this winter.
What do you say to someone with an IQ of 10.....??

Here, weld this!
It even made the welder up there laugh his *** off!

I know, I love welding too! I have a nice little mig that I love to use, and I am keeping my eyes out for a decent stick welder too. Sticks are handy for the bigger jobs
