A Lincoln 225 "Tombstone" will usually get the job done. I learned on one of these back in the late '60s but don't use my current one nearly as much as my mig welder. Inexpensive used ones are often available on Kijiji, Craig's List, etc.

 

Any AC/DC machine you can find on Craigslist. Don't limit yourself to an AC only machine.

 

 

Dang that almost look like spray transfer

 

man some of you alls welds are amazing. Mine always seem to come out ok but i noticed they rust easily. I really need to get the TANK for my MIG instead of using the FLUX CORE wire. with Innershield.

 

Rust easily? Or have the appearance of rust in the bead?

Any bare metal will rust easily, if there's the appearance of rust in the bead, try making sure all surfaces of the metal you are welding are cleaned down to bare, shiny metal with no rust.... because that will pick up and get mixed around in the weld puddle. That will happen regardless of whether you're running flux or gas-shielded.

 

Fabbed up a downpipe for my rig this weekend. I've pulled the turbo setup so I can focus more on other BWE projects.

 

oooooo aaaaahhhh

 

Heck yeah! Double flex joints, that oughtta do it for sure!

 

Starting to weld up my trailer frame. I'm not that proficient at welding but good enough to put this together.

 

Finally got my tank properly secured. This also gives me a good place to start adding more to the cart, I'll probably make that a project for tomorrow.

 

is that a 140?

 

Yeah

 

I've got the same welder, have yet to get some gas for it, just learning on flux now

 

using gas is awesome, i ran gas on mine when i used it at work for a couple weeks, i mostly use flux on it tho cause ive yet to buy a bottle yet
