Hi Karl,
The problem with the .035 flux core is the amount
of heat required to turn it liquid is sometimes a bit hotter than is required to
puddle the base material. Thats why you get blow thru.
Maybe see if a local welding supply store offers
the flux core in an .025. you'll need to

I'm using .035 flux core right now. I also have .025
and shielding gas, but probably won't use it because I don't have an
enclosed space to weld in (and it can get kinda windy where the car
is).

I'll go in a direction nobody else has yet and ask,
what size wire are you running? I've had great success on thin gauge steel
with .025 solid core wire and shielding gas.
You can also weld thin stuff with .035 but the
technique is different.
Also, don't forget to tack weld, move, tack w
I have mine in various bookcases throughout the
house. I too seem to have a hard time letting go of those old
issues. My wife is very understanding of this though.

I made one a few years ago, and it was really simple to build.
Here's some pics, but I don't have any more "blue prints" than these.

The stuff from this auction is unrelated to the Don Schlag collection.
Almost all of his collection of cars and parts went to Maryland last spring.

Years ago I ran into the same problem when it came time to move- I wanted

I've made a number of modifications, because I feared it wouldn't be able to
handle my Chevelle. Most notably, I think the Chevelle is too wide to
actually rotate at the dimensions specified.
I noticed that Karl is building a rotisserie and wondered if any of you guys
had "blueprints" of any rotisserie's you have built. I found some good
ideas on the net but thought I would run it by you guys too. I am in the
gathering material stage and now would be a good time to get everything I
The one thing I didn't notice way the custom built
engine stands made out of shopping carts. If it's from the find you guys are
talking about I would have expected them to keep the motors bolted to those
stands.

Karl,
I'm not an expert welder by any means, but I agree with them. When I burn
through, I increase the wire speed, which gets me moving along a bit faster.
I also noticed a big difference in the quality of my work when I converted
my Lincoln to a real gas mig welder and got away from the flux cor

I had acquired about a dozen or so thick binders that a company had discarded & then bought magazine holders thru a Ann Carters catalogue that my wife had (very inexpensive) & arranged them by month & now have them handy in my bookshelf whenever needed nice & neat.

I use milk crates; you know, the plastic ones that sit outside the c-stores. Easy to take a "sight" inventory and easy to move and stack.

Hey guys. This is kind of car related.
I save all my copies of 3-4 car magazine subscriptions and
also copies of 3-4 woodworking magazines. Plus a bunch of catalogs.
There is something in every issue that will never go out of date. A
special project, Plans, tips and tricks. Articles
Wish I was closer. Even if I couldn't afford any of it. That looks like a once in a lifetime auction. It would be difficult to NOT find something that interests you.
Hemmings said that the trailer stuff from a few months ago went to the East Coast somewhere.

That and to make sure the gas is not being blown away and sheilds your weld.

Thanks for the responses, Wayne and Jim.
So what you're saying is *faster* wire speed might help? I'll try that
tonight on some scrap fenders I have.

Hi Karl,
I use a Hobart handler 140 w/ shielding gas on most sheetmetal
work. I run the heat at 3 and speed around 35. If I burn through I
will either back the heat off or increase wire speed to 50ish.
Usually the wire speed and keeping my hand moving takes care of the
blow through. Def
I wonder if that is the stuff from that farm with all
the trailers full of stuff?
Great stuff.

Stick is real hard on sheet metal. The mig should do fine. I have a small
hobart handler 135 that I used for most of my welding. I set it on 2 and
about 40 then on the speed setting.
