Welding Class Update...

Earlsfat · #1 09-28-2006, 04:00 PM

Took Arc I, got a B... Instructor was cool as hell... part owner of a 6 second dragster... one nice god-damned car.

Taking MIG & TIG, starts 10/11. I got to do a little mig, he hooked me up in case I couldn't get into the MIG & TIG class. I liked that ALOT. I'm gonna make a whole new car! I just need to get that ribbed sheet metal someplace..............

Cool

Sounds alot better than the way I learned, "here's the torch, light it with this, and don't stay in one spot for too long".

When it was all said and done, "oh ok, looks like it got off to a good start, but what the hell happened towards the end?" I couldn't see

"Oh, I forgot to tell you not to look at the light".

you will find mig easy, it takes practice, but tig is the fun stuff, have fun!

i take that class in high school now. i have the highest GPA in the calss. lol. i hate welding with the 6011 rods because they want to stick all the time if you don't strike just right.

I'm glad your having fun with it. When I was in high school I took welding my freshman year and took another class my sophomore year. My soph year I got to use foundry equip. Melted alum and made a vise that still works. Machined the steal for the locks and swivel thingys. It is a blast. If you can get in to a foundry class you can make a mold of what you want and pour alum and make it look sweet...I will have to take a pic of the vise.

Good luck with everything

LMAO! That is a BITCH! Fun though.

Jeremy, I'd like to see that, and when I get the time I am going to look into taking that if it's offered around here. Sounds cool as hell. Definitely post up some picks when you get a chance.

I was going to not take ARC 2, but may do so later. I've figured out a bunch of stuff I could make if I do the second class. Of course if I could rotate the work pieces I don't really need the verticle weld class (Arc 2), huh?

SG007 · #11 10-03-2006, 10:40 AM

it's relatively small, about 15"x10" between the pedals and the front of the seat.

REflecting on previous discussion between you and Jim, I'm sure he'll weld for you............

I don't wanna know at what cost

1986Z28 · #14 10-03-2006, 11:14 AM
