I’ve been having issues lately with inconsistency in my welds. Things go very right, and then go oh so very wrong. Here’s an unfortunate example. These two sets of tests were done minutes apart, with no changes on my part, or none that I could perceive. Not sure what I’m doing wrong here. It’s very frustrating. I’m emailing people, asking at online forums. I’m working on it. Hopefully I’ll figure it all out before I decide to set the whole thing out in the driveway and back over it repeatedly. I kid – sort of.
On the up side, and totally unrelated to welding, I realized the other day that if you go to Google and type in rollingballsculpture like that – as all one word – my blog is the second search result, which is kind of cool.
The second result? Really? Cool! More reason not to back over these things with your car. Though I understand the feeling behind it. There have been times that I’ve wanted to toss my book down the garbage disposal.
Hmmm…you may have a point there. Wouldn’t want to lose my rollingballsculpture search status after all this hard work, I guess. Still, sure would be nice to get this all straightened out. It’s like the “Where’s Waldo” of welding techniques. I should print a description of all the freakin’ questions I get when I ask on the boards about a problem. Seemingly endless!
