I made this. 'This' consists of a square tunnel shaped piece of something that I mig welded onto a piece of test plate. I brought it back to my booth and then tried to arc weld it further, but for some reason the tunnel piece melted away. Do you remember when you were little and you would just get obsessed with a pair of scissors and want to cut everything you saw? That is what mig welding is like. Its so quick you just want to mig everything in sight.
Today an hour before class was over, I finally obtained the results I had been looking for the last three days. Now I will be able to sleep at night, that is until I learn something else. I got %80 on my multiple choice test today, good thing I'm a nerd and studied a ton on the weekend because I didn't look at my notes today or yesterday.
After about welding two beads, this gets really hot. Because of that, it starts to loosen. I try to fix it before it falls and almost burn my hands, and then sometimes it crashes to the floor anyways, and its way to hot to touch to pick up so I just stand there looking at it.
I think I was given a wrench or something but I don't yet keep it with me. My gloves are thick, so much that my pinky finger on my left hand is becoming a bit deformed sticking outwards and is a bit sore. There are thinner gloves but already when I touch something, the leather slowly heats up like an over and just when you think its going to stop it gets hotter.
