I bent tube fine when I wasn't wearing boat shoes.
Man up and get something that'll burn 7018s.
Just bought my first welding machine. Just a Hobart 140. I need some lessons
Start by making something that doesn't matter, like a welding cart
bull**** welding carts don't matter.
First thing I made was a welding cart, then a welding table
First thing I ever welded was eds shock tabs the day before TTC
Got a free cart with the machine, but it sucks
I think an overhead projector cart would work well
Whatever you make, put 4 turning casters on it and make it smaller than a school bus.......................Travis
Buy a welder big enough to have wheels and a mount for the bottle already.
I scrolled up after firing off that post. Congrats. The 140 is a good little welder to start with. I would just get a scrap piece of plate and start running beads down it. Then, when you get the rythm and look of the weld going your way, start trying to do overlap welds and butt welds. Clean steel is your friend.
Use the chart.
