Clean, Prep, and Tack Weld Plates

now let's get this pulled off and fire up the olfronius magic wave 230 get this thing stuck together gotta clean this off here so i can weld to it so it'll be nice at least kind of this big hog here i don't know i've never used this one before but it makes the lights dim when you turn it on so it must be intense you have to do that to all of them yeah fun stuff yeah i know so excited looks like new only in the part that you did that too though mom i thought about just welding this anyway just going through the crud because it's not the right thing to do so that's not what we're gonna do [Music] don't you have to do both sides on that one yeah yes i do holy what a hog it's not we're gonna get the welder fired up it's all dirty because it's you know right next to the workbench but this thing's freaking sweet you could switch between ac dc on here you know get your amps over here we're going to put it around 90 just because i think that's a good place to be all your settings are in there electrode diameter all kinds of things now let's see as well there's way more um capable than uh i am understanding of what it does make sure i'm on the right shade level as i bumped into it i have the bluetooth helmet too i haven't actually tried it yet because um i haven't haven't had any big welding projects come up to where i thought i needed to fire it up it's always some random thing i'm not really prepared for so i just keep using old reliable here but you just got a torch switch on it you can change things from here too you can mess with the amps on there it's pretty neat i have it set to be a momentary start stop where you can also have it to like pull it down and then you touch it again to shut it off where i like to control it in the moment and it's also got a little dingle right there pretty cool so i'm just going to tack these plates to the ends and then we'll go back up there again to verify how it fits and then make marks and tack from there make sure it fits still and then we'll send it all home so that's the process here i'm just gonna tack it a couple places and go from there i didn't even use rod on this one because i had a corner there i just melted the corner and kind of guided it up into there just to have a nice fusion tack a little trick you can use at home three places should be good it's got to be strong enough that you can pick it up and move it around and bump it on things and not break them but not so intense that uh if you need to move it that…
