Stick welding 1/8" wire

admin

Not much of a project, but I needed to repair one of our steel wire reindeer from last year. Surprisingly I was able to use 3/32" 7014 at 80a to weld it! Ok, well it was more of a glob/fusion weld  Attached ImagesAC-180 Lincolnwelder circa '50's

Reply:Thanks, I was fairly impressed by my new welding skills, but it still falls under the "A grinder and paint will make a welder what he ain't." category :O Thanks for looking.AC-180 Lincolnwelder circa '50's
