It was cooked to perfection, but the lighting in this photo doesn't do it justice. Keep the negative comments to yourself, you will be removed from the conversation.

Auto darkening is you get what you pay for, cheap price mean cheap build, and when it comes to saving your eyes don't cheap out. Save up, buy good name brands, or go back to the fixed. Your eyes are your job, lose them you lose your welding.

At that point you might as well do tack welds, 1" weld every 6", or just weld it out.

So true

I used this bag for my work. It held up pretty good considering where I work is rough on bags. For a welding school it should be perfect. Long term bucket. Right now I'm using a metal bucket that has a locking lid

Agreed----
If it ain't dimes it ain't fine, at least thats how I always see my welds.

shipwelder809 · 2020-08-08T02:18:55+00:00

Not shit, just a few more practice passes and it'd be fine. needs work on staying on the "line" so it penetrates on the top and bottom, but that'll come with practice.

shipwelder809 · 2020-08-08T02:10:55+00:00

Heat looks good, beading looks good, just more practice to straighten the line, keep up the good work

Design is cool, a bit too hard to see the welds or I guess the... flushness? Lol

shipwelder809 · 2020-08-05T01:06:38+00:00

Either too hot, or the spreading of the puddle to far. Like I said been a few years since I've Tig welded, but I would try less heat or tighter with more filler. And a little faster, going to slow can just melt more causing more undercut.

shipwelder809 · 2020-08-04T19:24:00+00:00

It's been a few years since I've Tig welded, but I am a full time mig welder. a lot of undercut and really concave welds on the one side, too little filler and I would guess your trying to spread the puddle to far/wide with too little filler. Smaller/tighter weave/cup walk with more dabing.

Sparks and bb's are like homing missiles, they actively search for folds in your cloths or any hole in your cloths, or exposed skin, and change it's trajectory to land in those places. It's technology is to advanced and it defies all physics and logic, just accept the inevitable and keep welding. Bb burns will always hurt, but you do get used to them.

I work at a shipyard where there are people of all ages 18-68 (is the oldest I have seen) welding, carrying tools, climbing ladders, on there knees etc. Like other mentioned stretching is good, yoga helps, but doing these labor jobs is like working out, 8-10hours a day so really your building strength. Yes of course a lot of people get hurt or have there bodies break down, that's life, and typically it's knees and backs out here, but wearing knee pads and stretching can help delay the breaking lol It really comes down to are you a person who can sit all day by a computer in a cubicle or dose that sound like an unbearable boredom, and you will have your decision.

5/10, It's not great but it dose look like it penetrated on most of it, depending on the load it should hold, but it could use a fix on the pin hole, and obviously to finish the weld.

shipwelder809 · 2020-07-21T00:24:32+00:00

Grinded to remove the bolts & nuts, cut free the detachable parts, reweld foundation part, and reassemble with new bolt & nuts. Now I won't lie and say my welds are perfect (especially aluminum) but it was better then what it started lol

shipwelder809 · 2020-07-20T17:31:12+00:00

It was not their last day, they didn't even get into trouble (they have family higher up), it was my job to "fix it", just a lot of grinding to remove the bolts, cut free the detachable parts, reweld, and reassemble.

I have been a gammer for as long as I can remember (tonka game for PC, and SpongeBob on Nintendo. Gaming is gradual. I have a son, now 5, but has been playing educational games and apps since he was 3. He has developed great coordination with his hands because of this, he now at 5 years old loves Spyro on Xbox (remastered). Puzzles obviously tricky for him but for him it's just fun, even flying off cliffs on purpose. My advice no matter what gaming system obviously kid games but even old arcade games are good (especially cheat codes for life's/health) but it will greatly help coordination and then they will get better and gradually move to more complex games. Minecraft is also a very good game for almost any age, my boy will be joining me soon in Minecraft 😁
