I'm Awesome
I got bored waiting for my bearing kit, so I decided to try to learn how to weld the axle tubes to the pumpkin. The pumpkin is (nodular?) cast iron and the tubes are steel, so not as straightforward. I ordered a temperature-changing crayon and some special rods for C.I. Got some fiberglass insulation laying around for post-heating temp. control and a map gas torch for preheat.
I started doing some grinding. May have to get the die grinder with those carbide bur bits to get in there better.
Question: what motion do I use for those welding electrodes? Straight drag, weave, wip-n-pause? What tool should I use for peening?
