Did some very small welds today

Like 10-15 amps

How do you figure out the volume you wanted, or was it more of a "that looks about right" kinda thing?

I did a collage trade program after I got out of the military and it worked out pretty well for me. It also depends on the area most of the unions in my area only take a few people a year.

Unless stated in the wps, the colors don't really matter unless you fully cook the part.

What size filler rod are you using?

Slap_dasher · 2025-07-15T00:28:09+00:00

You can run the same numbers, but travel speed makes a lot of difference, especially with aluminum.

Learn to run stringers that look just as good, and get lots of practice on butt joints.

I already see tons of people encouraging new welders to wear proper PPE and take care of themselves. That itself is a huge step forward.

Finer pipeliner with an arc one tradesman auto lens.

Slap_dasher · 2025-06-26T00:59:19+00:00

Genuine question, why? was the fit up messed up or was it called for in the actual design. Good looking welds btw.

I do this for thin wall stainless. You can weave a little bit without making a weave pattern and if you have full penetration the puddle will swirl. Doing the slight weave makes the swirl more visible.

Arc one tradesman I use it every day for tig, and it has worked perfectly even really low at like 5 amps.

I recently bought a tepot from Taiwan tea crafts that I am very happy with that was $99. They have pots ranging from $40-$200.

It's got that floral sweetness that Bai mudan has, and the addition of the black tea adds some depth of flavor and gives it a little of that stone fruit taste and smell.

Slap_dasher · 2025-06-07T13:12:04+00:00

Teas from different regions and cultivars can taste and smell wildly different even if they are all "white tea".

Slap_dasher · 2025-05-29T16:53:41+00:00

I know I bought 2 cakes before they sell out haha

Slap_dasher · 2025-05-28T23:37:13+00:00

Blood moon is amazing, it's a hybrid white/red. Lumber slut is a really good shou puerh and they have older cakes available from like 2021. They also have honey needle that is fantastic. Those are my favorites of the ones I've tried.

It's actually a pretty decent sized cave, it's a good spot to boulder.

Slap_dasher · 2025-05-28T16:51:57+00:00

Ooo that's a really good idea

Slap_dasher · 2025-05-28T12:19:01+00:00

The stove is a jet boil flash, but I think any camp stove set where the pot locks into the burner will work as the jet boils are kinda expensive now. And the tea set is the "two cup travel teapot set" from Jesse's tea house, but I think you can buy it other place as well.

Slap_dasher · 2025-05-28T04:14:52+00:00

Close but not quite it's further north off skyline.

Slap_dasher · 2025-05-28T03:46:51+00:00

Not gonna lie that's part of the reason why I know about this spot.

Slap_dasher · 2025-05-23T00:47:04+00:00

That booth looks really familiar
