Hi folks,
Having seen a couple of my projects, a guy at work as asked me about fabricating a petwash tub. He wants it done in stainless as it's gonna see a lot of water.
I'd never heard of such a thing so I decided to look into it.
So I was hoping for a few pointers if anyone can help. I was going stick weld it, so as no need to change the gas/filler wire etc on the mig. I've got a few 2mm plates and 309L rods from the workshop near where I work to practice on. Would 2mm stainless sheet be suitable? Or could I go thinner? Don't want to go too thin for fear of blowing through...
As I'm learning as I go I won't be charging him much more than materials, but I might build another one for my young fellas cockers if it works out
Thanks
