No electric welder was harmed in the making of this TV mount. RG45, saddle joints roughed in with grinder and finished with half-round file. Victor torch. I burned my coat twice.I wish the last pic wasn't fuzzy, I'm sorta proud of that joint. BTW I hung from this thing. I'm 210lbs. Ok carry on gents...Last edited by skywest; 04-18-2009 at 10:21 PM.Lincoln PowerMig 180cVictor O/ABandaids and aspirinI don't know what I don't know!?
Reply:Cool stuff! I really enjoy O/A welding, but I've not had time in the last few weeks. What thickness of metal, and what size tip?OLD miller M-295 (AC)Century 230/140 ac/dcVictor torchNot much else but some cheap tools.
Reply:looks nice. im a firm believer in O/A, i love it personally and always recommend to younger students to learn how to O/A so they can learn puddle control (and it helps with learning tig). its amazing what you can build with O/AI break things for a living...

Reply:Just got back into town, the tip is Victor 0 and the tubing was thin like .025 i think.I'm addicted to the gas welding and hope to refine the skill. I'm hoping it will help out when I can afford a tig someday also. But for now its just plain fun. The only thing I struggle with is the upper "pointy" ends of the fishmouth joint. They want to get real sloppy from the thinness. Maybe my fishmouth technique is off. I've had no formal training in that skill.Thanks for the nice comments.Lincoln PowerMig 180cVictor O/ABandaids and aspirinI don't know what I don't know!? |
