So, I started with my table

[fluxcored]

Hi Guys,

Well I had a very nice weekend. I finally started with my build table - about 4 months too late. It's 21 mm shutterply to be fastened on to a 38X38X2mm steel frame.

The frame's welds look like #$%^ - all over the place. Have'nt MIG welded in 5 years and am struggling to see what I'm doing. Got the bacon frying pan thing pat down but just can't see where I'm going.

Discovered on Sunday my cheapie auto dark helmet even on setting 13 does not help. Dusted off my old non-auto helmet and it proved to be much better but I'll try to find a lens that can even filter more of the brightness.

Cannot afford a new helmet now.

Here's the linkie: http://picasaweb.google.com/cambun/R...eat=directlink

Hope it works.

Oh, and my 7 year old son had a go - he was so chaffed with his first bead altho it looked like bird poo. I showed him how a good weld looks like and that he must slow down. Eventually had to chase him away to get some work done.

Encouragement is welcome!!

Cheers.
