Re: MIG Welding Newbie

Small stuff bending is a breeze now since I found these Oxygen Bottles at HMR. Even tool steel is no match when heated by oxy fuel. Bends like alambre.

For hanging the WOK.

Re: MIG Welding Newbie

I managed to finish the welding today. I have kept it as simple as it could be. The rolling stove should be very easy to clean with hose water as it will see a lot of action cooking food for our Mercato weekends food stall.

I have spent around 1,500 pesos on the metals used.

If I have chance I'll spray paint it tomorrow.

If ever I get to build one again I will use stainless steel as I'm now more confident doing this kind of WIPs.

Re: MIG Welding Newbie

My welding table gets a new connection to the welders...

These ground clamps can be connected to the mig or stick welder depending on which one is best to use ...
( i.e for sheet metal works a magnetic clamp is better)

Re: MIG Welding Newbie

I love using stop blocks when cutting with chop saws no matter how crude the setup is ...... makes repetitive cuts quick and easy.

It's important to place a spacer which can be removed so the saw blade will not pinch the metal at the final cut.

Measure once cut many .....

Re: MIG Welding Newbie

Stop blocks for chop saws, drill press etc.... I wish I had better setups for it.
