so I am about to do a bit of weldng on the CJ5, and I wanted to get practiced up
so ere is what I didi, I got a lot of dissimular sized metal, andgot solid core wire and practiced set up for flux core. I mean that is kinda hard, then once finished with a projest got out the flux core and got the machine singing, just before doing somesheet metal I went back to solid wire and gas, WOW did my welds ever improve. i had heard of this trick before. It makes sure your prep is really good and that you get the machine singing a sweet tone, but I never thought to try it. You know, some of those old welders know a few tricks
here is what I welded up for practice
