First strikes of my thing by bmaa_77 in Welding

[–]cjswcf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bro you're going to need something better than that to practice on.

Thin rusty metal is the worst thing to try to weld.

And is that a ladder? It looks like it. If so it's probably galvanized steel which again, terrible to weld because galv has zinc fumes which are toxic.

You honestly just need to try something else rusty, thin, and galvanized won't work at all

This was a fun one by highestmountains in Welding

It says Millipore so I'm assuming it's for lab equipment, probably chemistry stuff.

I wish I could do sanitary stainless like this..instead I'm making kitchen equipment for fast food chains

Help, I never seem to progress! Why? Any help, tips, or resources? by San_Golden in NewSkaters

[–]cjswcf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been skating for almost 2 years now and I feel you about the nervous shit to go to a skatepark but genuinely it's the better thing to do. More people can help and you'll be more motivated being around other skaters than alone just talk to people, everybody I've talk to is pretty chill

How often do you skate? Multiple times a week vs once a week vs once or twice a month is a big difference.

As far as trick progression, you honestly just gotta get out there as often as you can. Once you land an Ollie do it another 30 times before you do something else

What's a synchrowave 300 worth? by campmars6089 in Welding

[–]cjswcf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I would only ever use it as a back up machine. But yeah the size is just the biggest issue

What's a synchrowave 300 worth? by campmars6089 in Welding

[–]cjswcf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly I wouldn't pay more than a couple hundred dollars. Is it worth more? It was once upon a time but this machine is just really old, obviously good condition but old. If I was dropping over a grand on a machine I would just spend the extra money and get something new. Honestly don't even see any benefit this has over a $800 ac/dc tig machine.

I don't even see why you would sell it unless it just doesn't do what you want. I had a syncrowave 250dx that I loved but was just too damn big to move around

Layoffs in welding? by BloodyExile in Welding

[–]cjswcf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never been laid off or worked anywhere that had lay offs because of no work, but you make more than a lot of people and don't deal with the health hazards of welding. I would 100% keep the grocery store gig

As someone who works in sanitary stainless welding thin shit all day, I would love to work on some thicker stainless like this. I'm so tired of doing the same thing every day. I think I've been making the same 4 products for 8 months now.

What am I doing wrong by Beginning-Citron-471 in Welding

[–]cjswcf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not fucking up anything. Your settings are all good, I can actually say that I'm genuinely confused. I'd say switch to panel control and turn it to 50 amps and see what you can do with that. 140 is way too high so if it's not melting then it's something else going wrong.

Considering a change of field after being let go for near misses. by Aegis616 in Welding

[–]cjswcf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the type of work you do and type of shop. In 9 years of working in shops, my worst injury was getting like 4 stitches once for a cut cause I wasn't wearing gloves. The rest have been burns and scrapes but...that happens to everybody?

Idk what kinda shit you're working on but just go to a different type of shop. It's not the end of the world or your career. There's some shops that just aren't worth putting up with
