Had some problems doing the spot welding on the new metal I was replacing on the rear fender I had sandblasted. Got real frustrating. I had depleted the Argon gas needed for the MIG welding, so took the bottle in for a refill. Talked to Sam, the welding GURU and salesman at AIRGAS in Burlington. Explained to him what was happening and he gave me some tips to try. I was basicly running on the automatic setting on the welder. Sam told me that wasn't always the right setting for the metal I was welding. I came home and did some fiddling with the controls. Took me a while to get dialed in correctly but all seems better now. As you can see in the pictures, thing are getting better. This all slowed me down considerably, (plus some other things,) but I'm back on the fender and slowly progressing.
Also bought a small 240V electric heater and in the process of installing it so I can work a little longer while it's getting colder.
There is a tunnel and i'm looking for the light at the end. I think it's a long tunnel.
