I have been making chairs out of rebar using a wire-feed welder but want to start using oxy-acetylene - just because I like fire... I have done some cutting and brazing but mostly just stuff I hang in the trees in the back yard, nothing I want to sit on. So, my question is what size tip should I use w/ my (medium-duty) outfit? And are there any tricks to welding rebar?</p> <br class="clear-both" /><!-- google_ad_section_end --> <p><a href="http://www.artmetal.com/blog/metalmonkey/2008/11/welding_rebar_w_oxy_acetylene">read more</a></p> http://www.artmetal.com/blog/metalmonkey/2008/11/welding_rebar_w_oxy_acetylene#comment furniture oxy-acetylene rebar Fri, 14 Nov 2008 14:55:32 -0600 metalmonkey 7212 at http://www.artmetal.com http://www.artmetal.com/images/sculpture_gallery/warren/2007/03/steel_horse <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <a href="/images/sculpture_gallery/warren/2007/03/steel_horse"><img src="http://www.artmetal.com/files/images/left1.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Steel Horse" title="Steel Horse" class="image thumbnail" width="144" height="135" /></a><p>Horse is 11&quot; X 13&quot; from puddle welded steel.</p> <br class="clear-both" /><!-- google_ad_section_end --> http://www.artmetal.com/images/sculpture_gallery/warren/2007/03/steel_horse#comment Sculpture Gallery Horse oxy-acetylene steel welding Sat, 03 Mar 2007 10:00:32 -0600 warren 3464 at http://www.artmetal.com http://www.artmetal.com/images/yak_gallery/quique/2007/01/destragon_the_destroying_dragon <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <a href="/images/yak_gallery/quique/2007/01/destragon_the_destroying_dragon"><img src="http://www.artmetal.com/files/images/Destragon-dragon02.thumbnail.JPG" alt="Destragon - the destroying dragon" title="Destragon - the destroying dragon" class="image thumbnail" width="144" height="89" /></a><p>"Destragon - the destroying dragon" was created by applying successive oxy-acetylene weld beads over a steel skeletal armature one bead at a time. Over 70 hours of welding were put into this dragon during my initial schooling. What's interesting is that the learning curve is shown in the final dragon. I started with uncontrolled weld beads at the tail of the dragon, and ended with controlled scales at the head. The wings were made of sheet steel with a "buttering" of bronze weld rods over the sheet metal.</p> <br class="clear-both" /><!-- google_ad_section_end --> <p><a href="http://www.artmetal.com/images/yak_gallery/quique/2007/01/destragon_the_destroying_dragon">read more</a></p> http://www.artmetal.com/images/yak_gallery/quique/2007/01/destragon_the_destroying_dragon#comment dragon oxy-acetylene welding YAK Gallery Fri, 19 Jan 2007 12:55:31 -0600 QuiQue 3362 at http://www.artmetal.com
