I was 40 yrs over due for birth...

bajachris88 · 2006-04-27T12:51:55+00:00

Lately, i have been honestly thinking, I should be born in the 60s. I feel like thats the only best time that i fit in. passion for vws, hippy nature (without the bad hygiene), love peace unity, the less amount of crap we have today. Things today just don't suit me. You hear great stories about the past, people getting along, less tv and media influence, not too much westernisation, obesity, junk food. Everyone making fun outside, familes being families rather than distant people who just call themselves a family due to blood. Its a real shame. Increasing desire for material possession, less people caring, less heart, crapper music.... all the annoying stuff that drives me up the wall. I want to grow my hair long without looking wierd or freaking people. I want to be free. Give me the 60s. :cry Honestly, this is how i feel, as a 17 yr old being realised into the real world after just graduating high school last yr.

You can't weld car panels with a cheap cheap welder. You have to get at the minimum a MIG welder. The cheaper it is the more likely it will be you will have to throw it away when it starts welding crap and you kick the daylights out of it.

I still prefer oxy for what I do as I seem to get more control. The only drawback is the bottle rental of @200+ per year. Too long since I used MIG and TIG of the real variety and not too sure on the gasless types of continuous wire welders. (I tend to not call them GASLESS MIG as MIG is METAL INERT GAS and if there's no INERT GAS, do they become just M welders?!) Proper modern name is GMA (GAS METAL ARC) and GTa (GAS TUNGSTEN ARC)

Have a small stick welder for just small stuff (OZITO) but is only a low duty cycle. After 8 x 100mm runs with 2.5 rods, it tends to shut down for 10 minutes or so.

PS. There's that bloody teacher coming out again!!!!

What? Can't handle the (oxy) heat??!! A .6mm tip works great on 0.8 mm sheet. Not too much problems with heat spread.

if you dont have the dosh hire a gasless mig for a couple of days if you have to, take a day to practice, then do all the cutting and preperation necessary, and hare the welder for aqnother day to put it all back together. should only cost you $50 per day plus wire.
