--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Jim Markle <jim_markle@mindspring.com>
Ok, thanks for the input! I've determined that the following points need attention
(most of these I already knew but old age has a way of....well, whatever.....).
I'll probably print this out and post it in my shop:
1. Use the right tip. Don't be shy!
2. Adjust the flame properly (look AND sound). Avoid an oxidizing flame!
3. Avoid heat sinks. Tack it and then move heat sinking stuff like jigs, clamps,
etc AWAY!
4. Re-read "Zen and the Art of the Weld Puddle" (www.airbum.com)
5. Review my "How to Weld" books.
6. Sit down and have some kind of support for my hands/arms.
7. Practice for a while before starting on the good stuff.
8. Pay attention to those sparks flying all over the place! They're telling you
something!
9. Maintain a proper flame to puddle distance!
10. No puddle and you've held it there for a LONG time? More of item 1 above....
11. Feed the rod consistently.
Items that I left out or forgot and that impacted my frustration level, stress
level and weld quality:
Uhhh, ALL of the above.......
I will still pursue getting my EAA Counselor to recommend someone to look over
my shoulder and give me some input and I'll possibly take a basic welding class.
I went back and did a couple little welds after getting my act together yesterday
and the process was MUCH better. Not quite there, obviously, but better!
Thanks again to everyone's suggestions!
Jim in Plano (feeling a little better about this welding stuff now......)

Try this:
Vitalis Kapler
1033 Forest Hill Dr.SW
Rochester, MN 55902
His phone # (507) 288-3322
Besides the hinges he sells manifolds for the corvair and prop
hubs, but they cannot use electric on the hub like WW's. He might make
motor mounts, I've heard so, but haven't asked him. If you contact him,
please ask him for me and how much $
