[comanche12]

Before

After

 

its not finish since it been cramp spot to welding during rear passenger side wheel is block my way.

Looks like you can definitely use more practice, but for only being your second time it looks pretty good.

[comanche12]

What kind of machine are you using? 115V? 220V? Flux Core? Stick?

MIG, 115v? i think, yes flux core, and its Hobart welder

[comanche09]

Cool, its tough to weld thick stuff with a 115v welder, especially without shielding gas. Good job! :cheers:

yeah my dad has been welding for 30+ years and still can't do the prettiest work in the world with just a flux core mig. you need argon to get something really pretty :yes:

[comanche12]

man 30+ years wow I'm sure he can weld anything under water ;)

 

i know i gotta ned argon. ill someday when my brother and i got job

haha he made my bumper like it was nothing with a mig welder and its some thick stuff :yes:

i can do some decent welding but anything like this i let the old man handle it :rotf:

[comanche12]

haha thats look awesome but my personal i would get square tube to match the box shape truck.

 

still look awesome tho!

that bumper didnt cost me anything :brows: i just went and dug throug the piles of scrap metal and found that pipe and some plate steel. got it alll together and put some d hooks on it (we have a whole bucket of them :yes: ) then i wanted a hitch so we welded the hitch beneath it. so i got the bumper for about 4 hours of work :brows: :eek:

[comanche12]

not fair! lol thats awesome! pretty creative! :bowdown:

 

I'm wonder if there any scrap metal around me hmmmm :dunno:

[Squeegy410]

like i said dad has been a welder for a very long time so we never throw away metal :yes: when i said dug through the piles of scrap metal i was talking about in my own yard :rotf:

did your Hobart come with gauges? if so go get a bottle of 75/25 or what ever the house mix is at your local welding supply store. usually pure argon is used for aluminum.

[comanche12]

yes its in my brother's home i gotta to pick it up and thanks! I'm still unable afford anything but dontworry someday i will!

[comanche12]

 

am i improved? :D

that weld looks kinda thin :dunno: you may wanna spend allitle more time and double up that weld because I'm not sure how much that will hold... just go alot slower and don't just go straight across rock up and down at the same time to get a nice thick weld. those little beads will hold stuff together, but you don't want to weld to crack and the whole piece to fall off. :smart:

[comanche12]

got more steel wires (fluxcore gas less), welded on driver side frame steel plate.

remeber i told you that I'm learning fast ;)

That most recent weld is looking good :yes:

[terrawombat]

How come that plate isn't lined up with the frame?

its won't sit in since because of other frame block the way. gotta to trim alot but the rear peice sit perfect which good enough to hold the rear leaf spring bracket thingy

comanche12, can you PLEASE use proper English?!?!?!....I can't understand a word you type. there's no proper structure, grammer, and word usage in anything you post. it makes it very hard to help you out, man...
