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 🤔

Still playing with this pluse tig it's pretty cool but, I could see how using it all the time will be a handy cap.

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.

That's really nice and, when it say apex casted right on the body you gotta have it.

Thanks JODY COLLIER just in time for a personal refresher. I have a Lil repair job coming up. Only it on Stainless I may have to dig though some videos .lol

Thank you , I'm in now. On my phone it's a Lil tricky but I'm in now thanks.
