Thanks Tim, for the spotweld tips.
Dave: did you use the same method that Tim used, "start the weld on the base metal, then weld "out" of the punched hole" ? Also, how did you get the top of the longitudinal clamped tightly? Or is that where the wood wedges came in? By the way, I am using .024 mig welding wire with .75 Argon, .25 C02. I started to use flux core, but that would always burn through the thin metal. Thanks again, guys for the advice. |
