ark welding | found art | steel I did some welding years ago in high school. My dad taught me how to weld with an AC only stick welder. Now over 10 year later I bought an old stick welder at a garage sale. After playing with my welder for a few weeks I am getting the feel for welding again. So today I decided to be creative. This is the first piece of metal sculpture I have made. This was made with an OLD AC stick welder using objects I had laying around the house. I used mostly 1/8" E6013 I also have some 1/16" E6013 but was having lots of problems with sticking and hard to start ark. I have been interested in steel art work for some time. I finally have some of the tools to start playing. Next on my list of tools is a OA set-up. |
