ive done a pretty good amount of welding before though man. ive welded scrap togeter . ive out toungues on trailers and ive welded on my atvs bumper. and thats just with the mig. ive done stuff on the tractor , weded the bumper onto this truck (don't ask it was dads idea) and again welded scraps with the arc. hers a picture of what i did on the trailer:
those ones wasnt as pretty as the first ones but they are just as strong.
the point I'm trying to make is that i just made a couple mistakes in my exitement yesterday. the first was using cheap extension cord , the second welding in the cold , and the 3rd not puttting my heat high enough. today I'm goin to do better because my exitement has worn off abit.
