I have always wanted to learn MIG or TIG welding but never had the chance, time. I am pretty good at soldering, just a higher temp?
|

Not much to learn, you just pick it up and make perfect welds. It really is that easy!
(And nothing like soldering, no need to flux the metal or heat it before hand. You dont even need to clean it like you do with stick welding, a MIG can burn through rust (not ideal mind you).
|

|
If you want a good structural weld then don't weld through rust.
Remind me not to follow you when you are towing your trailer.

Indeed.
(I am more worried about the rubber sprung torsion bar suspension units, I cut them off an old gravel trailer that had been sitting in the mud for a decade. Not sure how much load they will take before they break up. )

No, not really. I got to practice welding by doing one straight line after another on a thick piece of steel. I went on until it was so hot that it glowed yellow. And then I picked it up and dropped it into a bucket of water.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I've never tried Argon with MIG - how does it differ from CO2? I've got Argon for my TIG unit, but never thought to use the same gas for both.
Will Rogers never met me.

Supposed to be better. Perhaps the weld is a bit smoother? Hard to really say it is though.

Thanks for that info. I really need to use mine more, along with the TIG unit I've never turned on. I've been much too busy, though, and when it's 120 ° F on the porch, welding isn't the first activity that comes to mind.

I was stick welding up an ornate wrought iron balustrade in that kind of heat once. It has one advantage, the arc strikes very easily!

Virtual Self - Angel Voices (Ghost Voices/Technic Angel Remix)[^]
Just a track I found on YouTube.
It starts out as pretty standard electronic/trance music, but just before 4:30 the music takes a nice turn (it reminds me a bit of Born Slippy by Underworld)
I was pleasantly surprised by the sudden surge of bass and it bombed the track to SOTW.
Been at the top of my playlist for the entire week, so enjoy

Remember remember the... 3rd of October?
Nice track!

Hi all, I removed Android from my Chuwi tablet and allocated the freed up partition to Windows 10, all is good. However, when I reboot I'm still presented with the choice of either Android or Windows ( selecting either will boot Windows ) any idea as to how I can remove this menu ? It's not a problem just a minor irritant.

Hi, thanks for that , that tutorial doesn't remove the menu it disables the option to switch between the two OS's and suppresses the menu on boot , as I've done a clean install of Win 10 Pro the option/app is not there - I think it might be a BIOS setting ( there is an Android section in there ) but can't see anything obvious there

Easy Peasey? I dunno - maybe if you have the answer ....

I know you do - but I genuinely have no idea what the answer might be!
£6000? A weeks money for you, maybe, or 6000lb is 3 US Tons, perhaps.
Weight of Trumps Wig? I dunno ...
