Aluminum is fun to play with, But so is S.S. with a tig
Glad you're going to learn to do it the right way. Those that don't are called "grinders" I believe. That's what I would be.. :lol: :lol:skyhightree1":1rfm40wg said:True Grit Farms":1rfm40wg said:[
Sky should have a good time and learn a lot, it's easy to learn when your interested in the subject.
Yea I hope so and that last part of your sentence is definitely the truth

That's what I heard.. Can you weld aluminum ?
Don't tell anyone aluminum is easier to weld and work with than steel or SS.

Sky, your coupon welds look very acceptable to me. Stick? 7018? Dig around there and see if you can find a good, dry 6013 and do the same weld and send me a picture. I think you will find the welds turn out looking like they were poured on with good penetration. Looks to me like you just needed someone to hold your hand for about 10 minutes - doin' good. Now vertical and overhead.
