Need Any Welding advice?
I'm the a-hole?? Hahaha!
I just think it was a better method than MiG welding sheet metal.
Unlike aviation welding, the school was mostly geared in structural welding with a short stint mig welding.
In this hobby I see myself using tig for rollcages or aluminum (intake manifolds or cylinder heads) and enjoyed the penetration that stick welding gave in my limited experience (11 months).
I guess it can be viewed asking questions after being offered is being a dick?
Personally if I offered my expertise I wouldn’t **** on somebody for earnestly asking. The idea is an expert is offering help-use their generosity or spend a week sifting through YouTube where I personally find a ideas/beliefs often touted as facts.
It is no big deal if you don’t know some of those questions-I doubted that you had torch experience or much mig experience if you worked in the aviation field (which I figure is like my submarine welding-precision), but maybe it was possible that you did.
If you are offended, Probably don’t offer next time. Not everyone tip toes around others’ feelings. I apologize for being a dick.
Best wishes.
Sorry, I sensed a bit of "ok, let's see what he really knows" from your 1st post....and I was in rare form yesterday. So, I apologize for the dick, and old fart comment. The point is, there is a ton of information out there for free, and I assumed that most people would come to FABO for more hard to find answers to their questions. I guess I failed to realize that FABO is the only form of internet some people know.
I have gotten a lot of great information off of this website for years. Now I'm just looking to contribute something in return.[/QUOTE]
I did a lot of welding way back in high school, but never on floor pans, so I recently bought a nice little welder to do some pans that need to be done here. Some of the details such as how much pressure to run the argon, what setting to weld that thickness of metal and what wire speed would’ve been my questions. After reading your post to Mouser, I shied away from asking them here, as it may be rudimentary to you, but watching YouTube videos isn’t something I usually do. After reading your intiial post I thought it a better way to learn the details, coming from a weldor who likes Mopars and offered to answer questions. It didn’t say only questions from experienced welders, only that you would answer welding questions.
And yes, of course I would practice on scrap sections of pans, but that wouldn’t answer some of my questions. I guess I’ll head on over to YouTube and learn from a Chevy guy! Oh, the horror!!
