Had to fit and weld a 30 foot handrail with 45 degree cuts and angles. No table long enough so I had to work on the ground. Used band saw and chop saw to make cuts. Foreman did not even know how to fit it up. 😂

Requesting a video on measuring tools and fitting techniques. Like using a speed square, combination square, etc. I had to make a handrail  at work with a bunch of 45 degree angle cuts and it was a pain in the you know what. The Forman did not even know how to fit it up. 😂  I will add a picture. Video in the general area.

I like beads like I like my women Hot 🔥 and heavy 😂💪 Stitch welding Dual shield flux core .045 I think I was running 24 volts 250 material thickness of out side plate 1/4" and 5/16" my welds were attaching the outside plate to the support frame. They had me weld it with all the supports in the way. Weird positions in the inside. Really difficult. I don't have thatuch experience with dual shield. More experience with hard wire. Some said my bead size was too big only supposed to be a 1/4. But better more than less. Not allowed to do multiple passes

How can I tell if I have a bottle of bad argon gas? I was using the same settings and same bottle of gas when tig welding aluminum. Then I started getting no cleaning action. It was if I was using Direct Current instead of AC. Which I have acidentally done. 😅 . The pressure in the bottle dropped to 8 KPA & 1,250 PSI. I got it from lindell gas 

        I am doing padding on a flat piece and also a T-Joint with 1/8 inch aluminum, ER 4043 ROD, I change the tungsten from 3/32 to 1/8. Running 125 to 150 amps. Using Grey band tungsten.
