Hi jlee35jl, Well I suggest a man of your experience & speed should upload a video response using the same materials making the smae size of gate! To be honest, I hear all day everyday what people can, cannot, have, have not, do or don't do and it's seldom the case when asked to prove such skills do people actually show me what they are capable of! I work for myself so speed is not an issue, but a good weld is. So far, not one of my gates has failed on a weld. Show us what you can do young man!
Hi SKULL101A, Having viewed your channel & the distinct lack of videos, perhaps you can show us all how it should be done? Besides, I wouldn''t want you to get arc eye! Ha ha ha ha..
Hi JFJ212, Tip dip is basically a wax that helps to protect the tip and nozzle from any build up of spatter or other 3rd party material from the smoke given off during the welding process. You dip your torch into the tin of cold wax, the hot tip & nozzle melt leaving a coating that protect the tip & nozzle but still allows gas & wire to pass through!
Hi SmokinPHorses, Thanks for your comment young man.
I need Saxon to talk things through with. He hasn't a clue what I am on about but, it's a better method than talking to a gate! Talking to a dog isn't considered "insane" in the UK, but talking to a gate might be! I suppose I could talk to myself but that could end up in an arguement & therefore a lack of co-operation between the right & left hands!
I use 0.8mm mild steel mig wire with BOC Argoshield Mix gas.
Hi Steve, Thanks for your comment. My back is my best feature/side for all photography or video work. I find that it is more picturesque than my front! I note from looking at your uploaded videos that you think your hands are picturesque, since this is all we can see of you! My helmet is only big enough for my head & therfore a camera will not fit aswell! DUH.... Plus my eye need protection from the light unlike the camera, DUH....
There are a lot of puns I can think of to reply with but I would look foolish rather than funny. The smoke is toxic, so complete removal of the gases is the safest way forward. However, in my case the constant breeze and drafts coming into the workshop help to clear it out. I do leave the workshop when I can see a build up of smoke. It tends to drift up and then hang about before dropping & dispersing. Leaving me with an air space and time to escape! Regards, DZ.
Hello again Steve, It sure appears to like that, but you see I have something in common with other humans unlike you perhaps? That is I can "hold my breath". Then I exhail slowly to avoid problems like death! It's a fairly common technique, like in a swimming pool when diving for an object! What you do is: Take a steady, but long deep breath, then, slowly let it out at a steady pace! Easy in the US you should be able to do this, the air is thick enough even for you, MORON!
I have some kiind of cold or flu virus, and have had it for two weeks! And I thought I had Swine Fever/Pig Flu/Bird Flu/Kennel Cough and global warming!!! I said the latter because everybody blames global warming for everything!
The noise is coming from my diesel space heater. It's big, hot, noisey, old and expensive to run but the warmth is worth it! It can be a bit of pig to start it and when I shut it down it smokes the workshop out! Great fun when folk see the smoke and get a worried look on their face! Regards, DZ.

what electrodes i need for galvanized with an arc welder?
SthealthRaider 1 year ago
Hi,SthealthRaider, The same as you would use normally on this size of steel. Just take off the galv as best you can.

I was worried until the end you didn't have an essential shop tool...a dog.
Good heavy gate. Did you use flux core or juice?
