Hello there,
I am hoping to pick your collective brains!
I want to make campfire trivets by welding horse shoes (mild steel) to that metal rod you get for concrete re-inforcement (also mild steel I think).
I used to make these by borrowing a friends big gas mig, but am thinking about buying a cheap Clarkes MIG85ENB gasless Mig. Partly because its cheap, partly because its small, but mainly so I don't have to store gas and buy gas, which means a long drive from where I live in the Stix.
Anyone out there with experience of welding thickish bits of steel to each other with this beasty? Anyone got any other recommendations?
Thank You!
