if you got no one teaching you there is two things I highly recommend...1) watch a bunch of youtube videos on it and go to weldingtipsandtricks.com and watch his videos. It will give you ideas of do/don'ts of it.... 2) the most important is seat time... just like drive a stick shift we were all...

well I got prices today for just some 10' foot pieces of square/rectangle tube and what i wanted to use was about 80$ more then the price of the C. So i might just use the C as my long runners and buy smaller pieces to make legs and cross beams.

I having trouble on what kinda of fabrication table I want to build, as I 3 big pieces of steel that I received from helping an old friend. I have a 33"Wx8'Lx.75"thick and I also have two 9' pieces of 6" c channel. Thick plate would be something like the strong hand benches with 5/8 water jet...

Only thing I can say on aluminum is consistency.... One thing I do for aluminum is start out slow to get heat/ penetration... Then in my head I'm always counting(one one thousand, two one thousand, etc) and at the end I dip the filler... Google welding tips and tricks and be ready to watch a lot...

thanks for the help so far...(only have 6 inch rule but goes to 32nds ) BIG 3 7/32" high by about 9 3/4".. 5/8 think but only 1/2"machined. LITTLE 2 15/32" high by 6 inches and is 5/8 thick fully machined. both long sides are machined flat short sides are in like raw form. Every where is true...

I'm new so im a little lost on what you guys actually do with this. Im not sure how the prices in California or Florida are going to help someone from Pennsylvania. Do you type in the provided zip and get the really discounted item from Florida sent to PA? If not someone please explain to me
