Just finished the plate rack I was asked to build.
The steel came from left over drops I saved and, an old hammock stand I built a long time ago but never really used.
2x2x 1/8 tube 15' approximately
2" boiler tube .
12 x12 x 1x8 plate
2 hrs a day round up to 8 hrs
Used the CK to pluse tig weld the ends on the boiler tube (mainly to get familiar with the machine and its settings)
The square tubes were welded with a suit case powered by gas driven welder. (GMAW) Dailing in the wfs can be tricky but I got it.
22v 300 wfs/ volts were higher than the recommended 18 to 19 but, I set higher to make up for the voltage drop.
This was a gift but it's always good to know what I could or should charge.
Any feed back or constructive criticism accepted er I 🤔
