    Getting First Welder of My Own

    I just realized my table is missing a drainage hole. Time to get out the 30-30.

    Getting First Welder of My Own

    My point of the above post is to show that these little harbor freight wire feed units aren't bad at all to learn on. After a grand total of four welds, I was ready to jump in on my first project. So don't be afraid of this or any other small wire feed welder. Jump in and start welding...

    Getting First Welder of My Own

    Here is my first project. Decided to jump right in. I had ran a total of four beads prior to making this table. May not be the prettiest table out there, but I'll either sand the top down to bare metal, or keep it as is for a chainsaw table. I used a sanding wheel on a grinder to prep all...

    That would be cool. I welded my first beads today and I have to say, the first ones were ugly, but after I dialed it in a bit (I'm still learning that part) I had a couple of nicer ones.

    Hi from Missouri

    Hey guys. Just picked up a welder and will be practicing with it soon so I get used to a MIG. I've always used stick welder in the past. I thought a go kart would make a nice eventual project once I'm comfortable again with my welding skills. I look forward to meeting everybody and hope I'll...
