[QUOTE="KDM, post: 485050, member: 314"] OK boys, I bought a mig welder, a metal chop saw, and a nutball idea that I want to learn to weld or at least stick metal together. I made a dozen or so welds on some 1.5 inch square tubing that looks about an 1/8th of an inch thick and they look like a gutpile rolled in mud and then driven over by a truck a couple dozen times. Now I read the manual on welder set up and all that so now I think I'm down to simple stick time and futzing with the machine when I change metals. Using .6mm wire right now and have .8mm wire as well. Are there any suggestions, tips, and other experiences you guys have that could help an old greybeard trying to learn new tricks? I realize this is an immense subject, but looking for ultimate rookie level info. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
