Re: what happens when i get bored I have used a strip of copper as a backing plate to prevent burn through when welding mild steel. I don't know why one could not use mild steel as a backing plate when doing copper.
With Aluminum, I use a cobalt blue lens and if you see the puddle, you are too late.

Re: what happens when i get bored dont quite follow what your saying? if you cant see your puddle how can you inshure your getting full penatration and fusion?
the puddle tells you everything about the bead
if there is no puddle your not welding your just throwing hot filler metal on the base metal

Re: what happens when i get bored redneck zx wrote: foil.... not shure thats possible I've heard it can be done if you take a sheet of foil, fold the edges back on themselves several time in order to form a thick "rib". Then bend the rib up at 90 degrees to the main sheet. Put two sheets with these formed ribs together, rib to rib, and then weld the top of the ribs together. I've only had the process described to me. When it comes to welding, if it isn't 1/4" thick steel and looks don't matter, I have someone else do it.

Re: what happens when i get bored Wow. Nice example of a Union worker weld. Must have been done on overtime, or it wouldn't look all that good. Heh heh heh.

Re: what happens when i get bored The nut on the threaded end on the bottom is welded to the hitch and to the ball screw also. Those are quality welds, and the one on top was done as a joke for when my neighbor wanted to borrow the hitch. He claimed to be a certified weldor and just looked at it and said "It'll do"

Re: what happens when i get bored Tomy Salami said once: if you want to find a natural welder, look for a high school dropout who mastered the use of a caulking gun.

Re: what happens when i get bored "Either you're good with a welder, or you're good with a grinder."
Now try welding razor blades together (edge side), and foil CAN be welded, as can the foil / paper gum wrapper.....but I've yet to see someone do it.
I taught my kids to MIG and we made a goth-style iron cross for my Rotty's grave when he died. Youngest was 8 I think at the time. Freakin gun was as big as she was. We did the Oil / Japan Dryer black treatment to it, turned out nice! I'd post a pic but I don't think anyone would care.
