Arc welding for a change .

       So, while cleaning my shop I found some old Arc Welding electrode (3/32 6013) and decided to hook the stinger up and weld on some plate I had laying around the shop just for kicks. I set the machine around 85 amps with a dig setting around 30 put the plate together in a T Joint fashion and sat down to weld. To my surprise the welds looked great and, after a bunch of passes I paused to take a photo for better or worse.

1 F being lazy .

      After taking this photo I decided to let it cool down a bit and put a few more passes in before dinner and the next photo is the end result as I left it.

Still 1 F many passes later .

   I go out to my shop every day and weld for a few hours to stay in practice, for the next few posts I will likely be adding various Arc Welding related things.

Happy Welding !
