Yeah. I miss his answers (@SAKryukov) too.
Where did he go?

No idea, but account is still active and in 1st place of who is who by rep
OriginalGriff has overflown the counter and has been relegated to the last place due to base 2 complement

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

(going for the 'how low a response can a post get' record) my welder cant run a 3.2 mm stick, that's about 110 amps, for more than 15 mins without the heat cut out kicking in and rendering it dead for half an hour. Its a sodding pain, this pergola is going to take days to put up.

I'm just posting to make you fail. Goes well with your welder

So now you're in pergolatory?
|
|

Sorry, but that is very good. 
|
|

Then why are you sorry?
Funny thing, here in SA, the majority of English speakers use, "Sorry?" to get someone's attention, e.g. "Sorry, would you mind not standing on my toe?". I use it often myself, and have made a firm resolution to only use in in genuinely apologetic contexts, and a normal greeting, like "Howzit, bru" instead, or just "bru". 
That translates to, "How are things, brother?"

My wife does this mostly because she's hard of hearing and needs me to repeat myself, which I hate doing doing. What I really hate though is the obligatory conversation starters such as 'How are you?/Fine, and you?'. I still prefer the '90s phrase 'wassssup'.

That's where 'Howzit' is really handy. No reply required, just maybe an echo.
I've long quite salutations on all but the first email I send to person I haven't communicated with before, and when I'm feeling really friendly I'll throw in a "Hi. Then the rest of the topic."

I don't think people standing around admiring my welding is going to help.

It might if they had their own welding equipment?

It depends on how hard they can blow.

Can we all avoid to see people blowing your hot welder? It would be appreciated.

Reminds me that it's time I learned to weld. Have had my late dad's machine sitting idle the the garage for over two years now. Going to do a cleanup and flog most of his mountain of power tools, except the press drill, table saw, and welder. I can do a damned fine job with the other two.

I much prefer MIG welding, so much neater, but, if you are going to go stick, then use 3.2 mm rods, eighth inch in the US, as they are easier to use and good for most metal except if its less than 2 mm.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks. I think the spare rods lying around are about that size, and I would very very wary of starting out first time welding on less than 4mm steel, or whatever the closest size to that it comes in for nice cheap plates and angle irons.
And, a MIG welder would set me back a few grand, where this old arc machine costs almost less than nothing.

i was taught as a kid, but these days there is so much on the net that you can pivk up the technique from vids. Try putting together something a bit rough, like a pergola, doesnt need to be good welding at all, and I am WAY out of practice with stick welding, and its difficult when you start doing over head fillet welds and that kind of stuff, but, with good plant and rods, you can do a good job still. If you really want to do a good weld every where, at any position, then MIG really is unbeatable, but, its expensive to buy a good MIG machine.

Have you run out of duct tape?

Have you tried dipping it in water to cool it down?
Joke aside, but there really is only one way to solve the problem. Buy, rent or borrow a better welder.
Actually, there is another way, but I certainly don't recommend it for hopefully obvious reasons.
Open the case and dip it in oil. (The welder, not the case)
