  • Sometimes you can use your chinese cold welder and a bit of 308 rod to tack this kind of stuff. Also you can use bass guitar strings that contain high quality steel core and nickel wounding. It forms quite strong weldings.

  • I have some challenge for you.))
    Can you weld together two tubes from telescopic antennas?))

  • this is my favourite video. it mirrors the kinds of challenges I face as a restoration hobbyist

  • This guy is awsome at this, great watching and learning this stuff? I do loads of welding at work, gettin better and better with help from this fellow thank you sir. Good job

  • i appreciate you adressing that it doesnt need to be perfect, to me, all i car about is that my weld is strong, im pretty sure pretty welds will come over time

  • great job if it is valuable but making a new one might be another option.
