just had a bit more practice stick welding with the Lorch.
Started off well , even got a peeler
I was welding onto a plate that I had tacked to a post, that I tacked to a plate, that was tacked to a plate ( only noticed yesterday that I had in fact trapped it in the timber balustrading )
Thus quite close to the infil bar.
Few more runs , need to be less wobbly !!
Didn't notice that the infil bar was starting to change colour
Thought this will be the last one as it's getting dark ....
We had flames on the post ! Casually asked the wife to bring out some water as her balustrading was on fire. She put it out before I got chance to photograph the flames
Most excitement I've had all week.
Starting to see what effects the run speed is having , thinner snakier runs when going too fast, nice low fat welds when slowing down etc. I think I need to get my head closer so that I can see better (or get new specs) , to be able to follow a straight line better.
Above welds were done at 90 amps with 6013 2.5 rods ( on battery power )
