One of these days when all of my shit is in order I will.

Your travel speed and stick out look like thry are fine.... just skip over the middle and pause at each side for half a second. Loks like you were doing a smooth steady weave. When you get the pause down then start angling your rod a little pointing it into the sides.

Nun Killer 3000, nice.

Also I can’t stick weld at all.

Lateral move then. The old ball coupler had the tendency of not getting latched correctly .

Not mine. Just some guy in the boatyard a couple weeks ago that was proud of his work. Unknown grade stainless.

For anyone interested... basic 211 flux core that you would use in a 110 machine will weld ss just fine.... but the weld will not be ss. Blue diamond makes an innershild 309 ss wire that works decent if you already know how to weld and can throw out everything you think you know and just run it.

Unknown grade stainless.

I would have guessed aluminum.

Ditch the 1/8 for some 3/32. Having less liquid do manage will help a lot.

Stick welding flat is okay, but once it gets vertical or overhead…I can’t do that.

I have a buddy who stick welds like most guys mig. But it’s all he has so he makes do.

So he whips it all over the place because a pretty weld matters more than a strong weld?

No he’s just that good with stick. Dude has built his own trailer back hoes and shit. Great welder. Who also makes them look amazing.

Run your overhead exactly like you do flat. It welds exactly the same once you get past the mental part.

Exactly. Steel has absurd surface tension. You just kinda melt that shit and as long as you don't melt so much it falls off it globs right in there.

Just make sure you're not directly under it though.

Hey I resemble that remark

At least none of my shit has broke yet

 

[mrblaine]

I would have guessed aluminum.

As would I. The section below the weld that melted and almost got away from him sure looks like what aluminum does.

Looks like aluminum to me but I’ve seen weirder shit

Cable change day! Had never welded cable ends together b⁴. Had always used Chinese finger cuff wire dealio...

 

[Provience]

Welded cable


Hell no

 

[[486]]

Welded cable


Hell no

are you a stupid?

it's clearly to string a new cable through a zillion sheaves by pulling the old one out

We did the same, we didn't have a Chinese finger trap dealio. I didn't get a picture though .

Hell no

Next time I'll highlight what apparently is pertinent informations!

 

[Chadwick]

Then it was time to tackle drum end no other pics than these bc it was time to put work in.
3 of 4 of the bolts were twisted... could not get Allen head anything to work tried every kind of hand or battery powered impact device.. even sleezee-out! To no avail. Black Allen head bolts counter sun into dead end cable locker deal...

Now my closed fist to elbow length is longer the I have room wherer these were welded.
Add a short used rod length stinger gloves my fat head and fatter hood all in where it really doesn't fit... and one of the crew (literally his hand holding visegrips and small @$$ nut (not bolt) < fixered that 👀) .
And yes all three came rite out... total shit globs .. however it 💪!

I painted around the bolts with nozzle dip.

Winner winner chicken dinner!!

Rtv/silicone inside of them Allen head bolts.. b⁴ we spooled drum full of cable.

Next go around pick the silicone out and put Allen wrench in clean hole..... learned the boys something. They'll thank me next time.. we have new bolt now for every change will be decided whether they get changed with cable change or not right then.
