That's why I don't try to weld anymore. It looked like shit. I know when to let someone else take over.

Just takes more practice

^^^^ this. Like most, my buggers are getting much better with time.

Good practice and decent equipment. When I got my Hobart 190 setup I went back to the basics welding together the standard plates, different sized metals, and weird angles to learn the setup. So far it is paying off.

Welded some SI seats in to a Honda Civic last night. Welds ain't bad, at least I got good penetration, cuz she loves good penetration.

Anyhow, with all the practice I've done, I have come to find out my machine does not like .023 wire. So, I have an 11# spool, well maybe 10.85#'s now, of .023 wire i can donate to the Christmas cause.

I'd have to take another look, but it was feeding just fine.

Do you plan on putting a head restraint (head 'rest') on those sexy seats?

It’s sad how far I have fallen.

I don’t want to login to win something, Although I love prizes! I come back, and read a bunch post once.. and then forget to check the next day. Been reading gun forums lately, I bought myself a little pist9l.. my first. Love it. Now I am becoming gun crazy. My how I do miss wheeling!

You have to be careful on those gun forums. Those things get expensive fast like off roading.

Pooof... and like that @SamSter0077 was never to be seen until next Christmas timeframe.

I was wrong to say he wouldn't be back until next Christmas.... must be a "Christmas Miracle". What gun did you buy Sam.. I bought one myself today.. albeit not really for me.

Did you buy a pink 10/22 or a teal ...

 

[Silverback]

My money is on the gold tiger striped DE.

 

[TacoXpo]

... or maybe...

 

[TacoXpo]

... and I was talking about you not shopping for you but buying a gun.

Oh I posted a picture of it. Blue Titanium they call it. Kiddo will hopefully love it. She said she wanted a black one but that was a different mfg and this one matches my pocket knife rather well. Plus blue is one of her 5 favorite colors. LOL

Picked up a little Ruger SR22 today for the little one to shoot. Got it in titanium blue. Pretty good deal on it
