"You obviously were not in a Ford auto assembly plant in the 60's and 70's building the LTD's"
Your right, never welded in an auto plant, 35lb of wire in a day tells me you earn your pay for sure, I was going to ask how the guys before you tacked with 5/32 rod but you said not to.
The most I done in a day was 5 rolls of .045 wire, 10lb ea. I've eye ball measured several times that that one roll does about 80 ft. of 1/4" weld, and the constant cleaning of weld spatter is at times more work then welding.
I'm not a car builder, more of a ship builder, there miles and miles of welding in this ship.

That ship in the video sure does not look like the two I was on back in 65 and 67.
