If Im getting this right, your wanting to screw a o2 sensor into a threaded fitting that your gonna weld onto a piece of pipe? If this is the case, I wouldnt have the o2 sensor in the fitting when it goes to be welded, because you will either fuse the fitting inside, or sieze it up. If you get...

Just make sure you use only 308 stick electrodes, because 309,316, etc.. will cause cracking either right after its welded, or a short time after your part goes into service. 308 prevents this cracking, and is the only type stainless steel filler I will use to join mild steel to stainless...

Why would you say that, your trying to cheer him up, not depress him!:D

90% helium, 7.5% argon, 2.5% co2 is what he's gonna need.

To be honest, stick welding for me, was harder than tig. For some reason the people that were excellent at stick, were horrible at tig, and I was the opposite, but I did eventually master stick. Tig came natural to me, after the first couple welds. Even that tig is easy for me, I can see why...

You have'nt lived with her yet?, Thats why you guys look so happy!:D Crap changes when you live with a person for a while. Me and my wife have been married for 10 years, and been together for 13, and man did I learn that the sweet girl that was my girlfriend, well, actually had hot pepper...

Will do, sorry!:D

When you goto your welding supply shop, tell them you want Tri-Mix, that is the only mix I will mig weld stainless steel with, and is what someone mentioned a couple posts back.

That sucks brother, but at least you have a girlfriend that will stand by you.

Exactly, thats why I cant believe you can mix the flux with water, kind of defeats the purpose, but I will try anything at least once. By the way, that pop can stove is pretty neat looking, I will have to try it out.

I love you too lehr!!:D;) Brewjunky, you couldnt get through Tulsa Welding School, unless you could do what you mentioned. We had to pass a 6G(for everyone else that doesnt know what a 6G position is, this is welding a pipe at a 45 degree angle) on both 2, 4, and 6" pipe, and pass a 2"...

Will do! All I did was take these $20 steel saw horses that lowes is selling right now, and welded 4, 1/4" stainless threaded studs in which I attached tweco connectors to. This way, I can connect, and disconnect my ground cable quick and fast. I did this to both saw horses, then I bolted a...

From a welders perspective, you wouldnt grind or clean the inside welds, and the reason is, it depends on how you weld it up. Now, if you were frabricate all four sides, and your tolerances were tight, and your fittup was tight, you could fuse weld the outside corners moving your tig torch in...

Really, that is interesting, this is a first for me. Water can contaminate a weld, thats why out at the ship yards we would torch heat the metal to be welded, to drive off the very visible water that is in the metal. Also adding water to the flux doesnt allow the chemical reaction to take...

Thank you, it took allot of practice to get where I am today, but if your a multi-tasker, you can tig weld. With some practice, anyone can lay down a nice bead, unless you try to tig overhead or vertical, which does take allot of practice!:)

Thanks buddy, and yeah the miller helps out a little during the weld:p. The pictures I posted are of the equipment that I did take pictures of. I another couple tons of equipment, like saddle cutters for pipe, pipe benders, metal chop saws, homemade welding table(I will have to post a picture...

Built a brutus for a local club member Got Coupler! Just some coupler I tig welded for a buddy, on a sanke keg. I made a keg to sabco specs. A buddy of mine wanted a Sabco keg, but couldnt afford one, so I built him a mirror image Sabco kettle to specs, for 1/4of the price...

I finally found a forum that is hell bent on welding, I love it. Here is my welding gear Im running at the house. One of my first tig welds I ever did, in school. My baby, Miller Trailblazer 302 My tig setup. Since this picture, I bought the new modular tig torch from arczone...

I will beg to differ. Im a pipe welder by trade, and we learned how to weld pipelines in school without a foot pedal, slider, or seperate amp control. Turn your heat to where your comfortable, and run with it. Yes its harder to do without a pedal, but once you mastered the hard way, you...

Im a welder by trade, and I never heard of mixing the flux with water. In fact, water will cause welding defects such as porosity, and cause leaks. If your using solar flux type B for welding stainless, go out and buy a product called HEET. They sell it in the automotive section in wal-mart...
