Shop / Tools Opportunity to learn/experience welding... Episode 1

[frieed]

The offer still stands...
I'm off every Fri, Sat, Sun

 

[Tebbsjeep]

Hey @zmotorsports , what tube inserts do you prefer?

 

[frieed]

Getting cooler, bump for a little welding...

 

[pkrfctr]

I'm in, I just signed up the community class at the high school for the next 8 weeks. Id love to do more either during of after the class!

 

[frieed]

pick your process; MIG, TIG, Stick, Oxy-Fuel, Plasma. I'm available Fri-Sunday.
I bet we could get you a head start on your class.

Hey @zmotorsports , what tube inserts do you prefer?

I apologize, I missed this and just saw it.

It depends on what I'm building. When I was building sandrails and race cars I was using Pro-Werks because I would purchase them at the same time as my 4130 chromoly tubing from Chassis Shop. I still buy them from there on occasion but most of the time McMaster Carr lately. For the bigger ones such as 1-1/4" and up I've used Ballistic Fab and have been pleased with the pricing and quality. If I don't have the time to wait I have had to machine some in a pinch as well.

good weekend to melt some metal

 

[frieed]

Since we're all going to die from the covid19 I'll bump this since nobody should die without experiencing melting metal together.
I will add that if you test positive for the 'Rona, please keep to yourself. I'd rather die later than sooner.

 

[mbryson]

I’m interested. when are you thinking?

 

[frieed]

I'm available Fri, Sat, Sun most weekends. I can also do an evening if that works better for you.
What processes are you thinking about?

 

[mbryson]

I could swing a Sat, possibly a Friday. I am a "decent" welder, none of my junk has come apart that I'm aware of (yet) but just wanted to polish my MIG skills a little.

 

[frieed]

Just let me know when.
hard wire or flux core ?

Hard wire with gas

 

[frieed]

I could do a Saturday afternoon/evening, probably bring the sewing machine over if you wanted to kill two birds with one stone?

That's a great idea. Let me know when that works. Strangely don't have any real plans these days

 

[frieed]

I'm good with that
