yeah... but tis his stuff.... a screw driver or wrench is one thing.... welding equip...whole nother ball of wax

 

^someone say screw driver?

 

LOL......Kanchi is banned from use of screwdrivers near any thing.......

 

I am ok at MIG and stick...when the weather allows me to get to the welder @ my parents

 

I hate stick welding......spent my first entire day in school trying to keep a good bead,and don't ask how long it took to figure out how to get the arc.....lol

 

I am way better at stick welding than MIG, funny its supposed to be harder than MIG...

 

Ya know... with a screw driver a bunch of wire and a good power supply.. you could make your own welder/solderer...

 

^^ i wanna watch!!! lol

from a safe distance tho

 

lol when i was in tech school one of my class mates was a lab assistant... smelled something 'burning'... you know that warm not quite right electronic smell??

some kid forgot his soldering iron so he wrapped a bunch of wire around his screw driver... attached it to the 30vlt 10amp bench supply and was soldering away

 

ohh... and one of my former room mates... he does 4wheelin.... some guy broke a control arm on their truck.... 2 batteries, pair or 2 of jumper cables, some welding rods and a wrench (14mm i think) they got the control arm fixed enough to drive home... only truck i know with a wrench for a controll arm

 

I went from this:


to THIS:

And did all the work myself.. I am no master welder but I think the equipment would easily do the job you are describing and I wouldn't mind teaching you if you would like. Of course, it would be easy and inexpensive to go to a muffler shop.

 

i like the shots, but its an easy fix i am not master at welding...which i need to learn soon

 

i'm sure it would be easy to go to a shop, but i'm always down to learn how to do it myself so that way i can say i did it myself & welding is on my list of things to learn - not master, but learn

 

We had to use that technique a couple years ago on the trail on a control arm bracket. ***Tip*** Take the batteries OUT of the vehicles first! Fried my buddies ECU. But it does work if in a pinch.

 

thanx for the tip cliff...

 

You can weld with a screwdriver and a battery.......grew up watching Mcgyver........say him build a car out of paperclip,a penny,two tin cups and a garbage can.......

 

i have heard of mcgyver but never seen the show....i will have to watch an episode online

 

he was the guy who plays the Cornel on Stargate...how the heck do you spell Cornel....kernel......????

 

oooo ok then...

 

and you are how old?? you never saw Macgyver? you must be beat down!!


and Brian you forgot his to mention his swiss army knife... he had the super delux model.. think it came with the welder, plasma cutter, laser scope, night vision... and a pair of tweezers for taking out splinters...
