New welder

[madkayaker]

like the idea submerged welding on a constant loss oil system. That works on the basis that used cooking oil is insinuative a point yet to be proven by science.

Ok, forget the moulinex chef, I'll get a Bifinett mixer from Lidl instead, the garlic press is a tesco value one so the money I saved on that I can put towards an extra turn of wire or two. I've decided to bottle up my dogs f@rts and have devised a distilling machine from an old breadmaker to seperate the gases, I'm sure it contains helium as when he's sat at my feet the smell always rises to my nose .
What about instead of using shielding gas we just trickle the cooking oil over the weld as it forms? That would surely work and if the oil is preheated (also by the breadmaker ) then it would prevent cracking as the weld cools.

Sorry Scarecrow but I think you set this thread up to be hijacked

Don't mind it beening hijacked should have called it a new inventions tread after all I once had an idea of converting a slurry vacuum tanker into a compressor thousand gallons capacity 100hp tractor and a pump the size of small barrel what could go wrong
sorry matt Ill have to remember lorch lorch lorch

I promised someone a few pictures of weld here is a few verticals the ones on the left are 7018 2.5 they have been in the press for years as my other transformer wasn't able to fire them up the ones on the right 6013


This one is just looking down on the weld from the top


This one is a vert fillet I made a right pigs ear of the root slag incursions everywhere but the box weave was all right


Any pointers would be welcome there was also some slag in some of the 3g
