Truth be told it would be kind of fun to set up. Everything in its place. Rods in oven, utensil hangers for wire brush and chipping hammer, 'how to' guide books for welding with 120v on the cook book shelf, beer in fridge......... Maybe something we can all look forward to.

OK. All the guys that are having a house built, make sure to have a fire proof kitchen installed. Or better yet, have a kitchen built in the shop. And a bathroom. And bedroom.
Come to think of it, with a well equiped shop, who needs a house.

Just installed a small refrigerator in my shop. Excuse was I needed it to store adhesives.

Hope SA didn't give up on us! This is using 110v on 1/8in... push (right to left) vs pull (left to right). Settings the same, manual 6/60 volt and wire speed. Did the push late at night so steadiness not so good but noticed a couple of differences. Bead is wider and flatter on push. I also tried upping the voltage about 10% and dialing down the wire speed to 50 and a got a crap bead. Not even worth sharing.

I like that little gauge.

It looks like you're doing a back and forth motion like you would with 6010 when pushing? There are times when that can work with MIG but for now just try to have a steady weave or even circles to get a uniform width bead. Pushing should be wider and flatter and more volts will give a wider bead too but that doesn't mean you can just crank the volts up.

I feel that my motion is more exaggerated than need be. Having fun with patterns, angles, and such and comparing welds... banging on them and not being real productive at all!

I will put my Clarke 130 EN mig welder up against any other welder ...no matter how big... and I am a brand new welderer ...
Since I welded a 1/8 inch plate 2 in. wide by about 18 in. long to the curve on the left front of my mower deck on my Murray Lawn Tractor...I have smacked into a huge rock....I can't believe I did that...just got too close and it did not even ding the plate I welded on...I had to weld it on to protect the already bent mower deck at that left front corner...it had been dented in and pulled back out so many times...when I cut the banks and turn up the inclines it would always push that side of the deck in...not any more this fixed it....and I hit that rock harder than I had ever hit before....
Just saying my little welder did its job....about 4 passes on the plate welding it to the mower deck and it is holding up...:thumbsup:

Sounds like another successful project done with a 110v welder!
