Hello Working on my 6010 rod vertical position. Love this rod it's nice looking and fun to run. Next I'll be working on my vertical V-groove. Currently in welding school, never had such a passion for welding, now I'm obsessed.
 Post some welding projects, guys!

Never welded but I got into soldering awhile back to work on guitars which has been very rewarding.
I would like to get more into electronics and metal working eventually.
Making jewelry/ wraps and stuff seems like fun. I want to get better at constructing stuff too.

I used to be a welder.
Did they teach you what the 60, the 1, and the 0 mean on your 6010 rods?

60 means 60,000 lbs tensile strength. The zero designates it as high cellulose which means you don't keep it in the rod warmer like a low hydrogen rod. As a matter of fact a rod warmer will mess that rod up.
6010 is a good rod. The puddle freezes fast and it can handle a little rust/oil/paint....

I went to a trade school for 2 years during high school and looking back, I think I should have taken welding instead of automotive. I could teach myself automotive as I don't plan on making that a career, but I could have used the skill of welding and experience from an earlier time.

Didn't know a warmer could mess 6010 up. The warmer is for only for 7018 rod, from what I've seen.
Hey, yea I don't wanna miss a lab. I could use all the experience I need. I learn a lot every session. So much to learn.

Rods that end in 5, 6, or 8 are low hydrogen and go in the warmer.

No we have an arc welder at work that my boss told me he would teach me to use. I work alot with oxygen/acetyline and I want to get my own tanks so I can fiddle around with using it to melt metals together at home, but at work I just use it to melt/carbonize plastics. I do maintain a couple sonic welders for fusing plastic parts but I don't think that really counts.

Apparently it isn't just an act he's a real person. I've heard people talking about working with him. They said he's not that great of a welder but he's fun to have around.
