I think you understand this, just want to make sure the other readers do as well.Ĭlick to expand.Same question, I didn't see a clear answer to what I hope to learn. This has nothing to do with her being a girl, (there are a lot of girls that can kick my Azz in welding and my wife is now getting close, now that we have the miller) but all about knowing and seeing the penetration of the weld and being safe with the product you have produced.

The welds looked good but were 'glue gun'. I looked at it and put my foot on one end and twisted it all apart. When I was working with my wife on one of the cheap Migs, she had 'welded' some stuff together. I also do a little jeeping and have made a few things for my heep and have also seen some things that people have made that could be involved in recovery or armor that just won't hold up or would be down right dangerous. I also think you down play your abilities, judging by your last comment, you probably have more ability than I. Try to break it Since it seems you have a stick, I think you know what is best used where.

In the hands of an experienced person that might happen, but for a newbie my fear is the tire falling off and going though a windshield behind. Thanks for your understanding, My only concern here is that someone with limited experience would read this and think they can rig up, say, a spare tire carrier made out of 1/4' tube and stick it together with a 110 HF welder.
