Oil to water heat exchanger.
Got a chance to weld on these 3/4 s.s tube ends to this carbon head plate. It was so dirty oil keep coming out, after stoping oil and Welding I found every time I would weld on a thin spot the weld would pop,
Pretty frustrating, I used the CK machine with a pluse tig feature it helped a lot but, in the end it was the tube expander that did the trick.

Been wanting a cart to store sheets of steel, and also get to with ease. Made it out 2" boiler tube and some 1/8 plate I had laying about. The wheels were also salvaged from the scrape bin, a piece of equipment was beening thrown out so I took the wheels from it.
The tubing was mitercut with the evolution saw "works good but hard to get the round miter cuts lined up for the perfect fit" also hard to get exact length". The sheet was with the slugger circ saw , fresh evolution blade was used since I tortured tested the original with half inch plate bevels. Saw works cool, straight cuts , no dust, no sparks. Chalk line work good to snap lines across the sheet try the blue powder level four.
Welded up the tubing with 6011 3/32 just because a had some. 85 Amp was too hot but did the job , honestly this was a hack job, but I'm happy it's done, it holding a ton of steel I had tucked away and I can easily roll it out now. For what it is it works fine 💪 .

My buddy wrapped his 76 chevy around something on the road and ask if I could cut off the front end. I said cutting off the front end was no problem, aligning it back was a whole another story. Anyways after I had him pull as much parts out of the way, I was able to square off some lines, then useing an oxy-acetylene torch to chop off the front end. Preped all mating edges and tacked in a used front end from another truck. Frist try we found the door panels rubbed, so we Broke tacs off and trimmed mating end back 3/8 at a tapper a got better fit, er I think, its the first time lining up a car frame so I'm pretty happy with it.

Found these old welders for sale, any know what's a good price to pay for one or whether or not it even worth pay for ?

Hello everybody, I work as a boilermaker servicing Various sites daily. My duties vary form Welding (multiple processes) to brazing, to masonry ( Refractory), to threading to fitting to plain old simple mechanical . I also spend a lot of time sharing Welding education with peers and my kids, as well teach a boilermaker apprenticeship program with NCCER.
WTT has always been a go to pointers, but now welderskills is triple up grade if not more with all the different collaborations.
Thanks
