    I really like that you put in a nice voiceover on what you are doing correctly and even show us when mistakes were made and you present it like a learning documentary . The (2) videos I liked the most when you got the big truck and the welder slipped off and got damaged and felt bad for you . Also the videos on you giving us the history about you learning how to play the Cello and playing Classical music . Thanks for sharing your World with all us from small town ( rural ) Mississippi USA !

    There is an update to fix that by adding 3 gusset plates at 10, 12, and 2 positions see Special Instruction REHS8557.

    Nice repair. Gouging & 7018's are probably the processes that I enjoy watching most. Thanks

    I don’t know your experience level but that is definitely a tight spot for that repair. Gouging looks good. The welds could be a little more uniform but overall good job. Keep up the good work.

    I've gotten away from the XX10 rods and switched to 7016 for open root welding. It's a Lo-Hy rod like 7018 but has flux that will cover the back of the puddle.

    It looks like the crack is perhaps a result of swiveling the blade when it was under too much load. Perhaps it will last for quite a long time if they swivel and tilt it under less load. Once the cracking starts - well you know where I'm going LOL...

    I don’t recommend using a 225. You could do a little bit of gouge work but chances are you’ll wined up burning up your machine. Don’t use a rod bigger than 5/32” and don’t gouge longer than 10 mins at a time.

    Not good to use a bobcat, have used a Hobart champion 16 to carbon arc with 3/16 rods and it messed up the machine. It popped the bridge rectifier and a capacitor. They are both very similar machines.

    I do. I’ve got a LN-25 I use it some it’s a good wire feeder. I’ve learned if you’re not welding for more than four hours it isn’t worth pull it out. With dual shield it isn’t that much faster than stick and the time to take it out and set it up and take it down it’s a lot more than stick.
