    Need opinions. Hot rolled vs cold rolled???

    I used to work in manufacturing and we would get something called PO'd steel. It's hot rolled steel and then dipped in acid to remove mill scale and such. Then it's oiled to protect the finish from rust. To me it looks better than cold rolled steel. Cold roll usually cracks with heavy heat/cool...

    1st pass with miller 211 MIG

    Your gas will vary by machine. Check your specs. And the taller the joint, the colder it is so that would mean we need more heat and we need to slow down the feed. What you see is the result of the molten filler metal melting on top of your joint. What you want is the joint or base metal to melt...

    1st pass with miller 211 MIG

    1st. Lets get a well built wire brush (good) or a grinder (best) and get to work on removing any paint or mill scale. You want to brush or grind down to shiny metal. 2nd. If you're using gas, don't use the flux core wire. for just gas, rub a little acetone on the bare metal after grinding...

    AMEN! I was planning to save for a build and have it done this year but having a daughter quickly killed that for me. Hopefully this formula will work for me as well!

    Building my 24 x 48 Boat/car shop!

    I'm in the same boat as you (no pun intended). My spot is in louisiana and I'm slopped and heavily wooded. I can rent an excavator and a hoe or two and do it my self for about $250 a day minus diesel. This motivates me to get it done.
