Russ:
Thanks guys! Welding is a really good skill to know and its pretty fun!
Trad, plasma cutting by hand would be hard! Id probably end up accidentally putting holes in everything >:D
Arc welding is also called Stick welding, its the one where you hold the electrode stick and feed it by hand. Mig welding is fun and all but once i got used to arc welding, I realized i like it a lot more!
Im Just now finishing my work on the Metal lathe. We are making a hammer handle and next week I will be making a hammer head!
White Falcon:
Ya, most know what stick welding is. Try Tig also.
KHalverson:
when you can weld its amazing how many friends you have...
learn to tig weld .
if you can tig weld stainless and aluminum you will always find work..
im in my 34th year of welding for a living..
Parnell:
That’s really good stuff. I took a course here at the tech school some years back that gave an intro to the types. I’ll do Mig work out back when need be. Really respect the old school machinists and people who can work a lathe.
That’s a great skill. Good for you.

Yea, lathe, hmmm ... Let's just say I prefer a mill. The CNC lathe was nice, but I screwed up pretty badly cutting threads on a manual lathe in aluminum.
Has anyone noticed that aluminum is pretty much the balsa wood of metals?
