Well, I finally had a chance to pick up some wire, get a refill on my Argon/CO2 tank, and get back to welding on my birdcage.
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who directed me in the right direction.
It has helped immensely to use the shielding gas and solid wire. My welding has improved at least 90%. The other 10% is on me and is probably beyond help, but by time I finish with this frame I should be getting much better at this. Maybe by that time I'll be good enough to start on another one? 
I've got most of my birdcage tacked in place now. Just have to make up about 4 more pieces at the front scuttle body support and around the rear of the doors and put it all together. Should be painting the frame in about a week or two- then moving on to suspension.
Are you listening Grumpy? 
Thanks again guys- Bob |
