Some stick welds, 70 amps 2.5mm rod, 3 and 4mm thickness on the square tubing. I think this is th ebest stick welding joint I have made so far. I started out at 100 amps but that was too high, blew holes in the thinner wall tube when I tried doing an up hill pass, kept adjusting dowwards, maybe could have gone to 75A. They turned out nice though, and the welding machine is really nice to stick weld with, I can jam the electrode in real good and it won't give a damn, real hard to make the arc go out.
This I welded earlier at 100 amps, two passes, one root pass, just a straight stringer then a sort of weave.
I've done so little welding lately it feels like starting from zero again but towards the end it was going real well and I felt my skills improve.
Made the wife happy Got her tumble drier working, needs a new belt and felt bearing. Another job for the new year
get them galvanised
Fitted. Not far off going into 'production'. I have 3 sets to make and then send off for the fabric (Mohair) and plastic window stuff. Any suggestions for making it a bit rustproof? They have a nasty habit of rotting out.View attachment 163505
