·I went over to my friends house today and had my first lesson in welding today. I have tried to get him off his lazy butt and fill the tanks for his cutting torch so we could cut and weld. He finally did. That oxy-acytelene, spelling, torch is a real pain in the a$$ to use correctly. We finally concluded that the torch was not cutting right. Then we graduated to welding class 101. I tried wire feed, I think it is also called Mig. I laid a perfect bead the first time I tried. Then I welded a few pieces of 1/4" scrap that I had cut together. I welded these, according to my friend, "damn near perfect." We then just goofed around welding some scraps here and there. As soon as I find the correct fittings for my York I will weld up the brackets for my 350.
I asked my friend how much more difficult Arc welding was that wire feed, he said much more difficult. Personally, I do not think of anything as being too much harder without at least trying it first. So, I would like ya'lls opinions. How much harder is arc welding that wire feed welding. I am asking b/c I have seen several sites that showed how to make your own on-board welder for dirt cheap. The basic setup was a $75 investment, and the pimp daddy setup was only a $150 investment and even had 110v ac power outlets on it, just like premier power welder.
