Re: Welder

I have a little Lincoln 110 flux core welder that I use for quick and dirty stuff (.035 wire). I go out of my way to find fab jobs and small projects that I can use it on.

It does not, however, work well on sheet metal. For sheet metal repairs I used a flange tool and structural adhesive. You can see my technique in my intro/build thread, linked below. It's been 10 years and all of those repairs have held up fine.

For really serious structural welding, like wheel repairs or chassis work, I don't trust myself. I take that stuff to a certified welder just to be sure.
