First let me start by saying this site is amazing!
After spending days preparing metal for welding this site gave me
the confidence to get on with the mig welding.
Ok so i have watched every video and read everything i can soak up.
I am working on some Candle Sticks and as well as showing my first weld
attempts i would also like to ask some questions about my welder and the project i am undertaking.
The pics below show my first bunch of welds and some shots of my project.
At the bottom is a diagram of the Welder to help you with assisting me.
The welder is 210amp and a bit of a beast. Gas is argonshield universal and i have 0.8 filler only.
Could somebody try to analyze the welds and what possible changes i could try.
The wide welds were set at 7 - 7 and the taller thinner ones were set at 5 -5 and 4 - 4.
I didnt get to use the calculator yet as i didnt get the specs off the machine.
The project advice i would like is just some general tips for welding,
3 or 4 mm stems onto 10mm bar.
1mm sheet behind flowers onto 10mm round.
And 10mm round into a 12mm hole.
This might all sound confusing as hell so if anyone would like me to elaborate on anything please let me know.
Once again great site and forum.
Regards Newton
