Welding is harder than I thought it would be. It appears that smaller welders (and rods) are harder to work with because the longest arc they generate is shorter. In half an hour of practice I managed one crappy bead and several hundred stuck rods. Look! A rod welded to a plate! It's Art! Time for some practice at the Abbey. And a stool.

Much props to [livejournal.com profile] gfish for the tutoring and garage space.

That's one of the reasons most shops havemoved to MIG or TIG welders.
But once you have the hang of stick welders you can master anything.

It'll be fun once I learn how to use it. Then I can teach other people how.

Thanks. I don't believe we've met, but I'm pretty sure we will.
