Welding help HOUSTON

[jjstang 51]

Thanks for all the advise.  One question. "Sounds like bacon", I have heard this comment before.  I visualize, or hear depending on your perspective, a small constant sizzle.  I get sizzle but I also get little pops.  When I listen to bacon cooking, it tends to pop a little.  I don't k now if I'm tying to hard if a small constant sizzle is not to be expected.  Otherwise, I'm getting much better.  Cleaner welds with good penetration.  Turn the auto darkening helmet down and now I can see what I'm doing.

Perhaps the sound it makes when you are welding is that of burning bacon.

But, but that has that twang to it, you know country western, what I call horse music. Well I guess that's OK considering the forum we're on ;)

I'm east of Houston...might have to hook up with you.....what thickness of metal are you trying to weld?

I wish I could help. All I've ever done is a bit of mig welding on floor pans and panels. The roller perches I made could have been better but with a wire feed, no gas, it was not too bad. 

 

 

What part of Houston area? 

 

Cool, Trinitys - I see you're in Splendora: i'm over by Lake Houston in Summerwood.  Cool to know another forum member (with '69 Coupe, no less) is nearby (-:
