superflux Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Get some 6013.BEST training rod ever.Keep your lenses clean. Use Lemon Pledge or similar to extend the life of your clear lenses if you have the expensive custom fit like in a lot of Speedglass hoods.

Gergely Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Hi,I wanted to open a thread for these but these pict fit here pretty good. I am a total dummy in welding. I've been begging people to teach me the very basics of SMAW welding but everyone answered: It's so simple just practice it. I got really frustrated and last Thursday I took my father-in-laws welder machine and a box of rods and got to it. I needed some dishing tools to use and very quickly so I tried to do it. For sure's sake first I tried to weld a 6mm rod to flat piece and after I couldn't break it off from the flat piece I moved to "real" projects.Made these:Big dishing tool from 160 mm pipe. Used it next day so succesful welding here Small dishing tool, still in one piece Bender anvil tool, failed on this one: broke on the first bend And this "corner shaper" anvil tool, I've no faith in this one, but it's still intact:The last two has a 1" chanel shank welded to a piece of sheet metal and the business parts onto that.No welding here, but this is just so pretty and useful. found in the scrapyard and grinded out the shank - I do have big faith in this one Bests:Gergely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
