Nohome, can I ask a huge favor?

It is with great help from your threads and your pictures that I got the basics of welding down.

I found a thread you made a while ago that is extremely relevant to my interests about rust repair welding, but photo suckIt broke the pictures. Lazy mans rust repair

Could I trouble you to update the pictures with your new hosting provider? At your convenience.

I don't have much incentive to offer yet, but I can promise pictures of it in action in the not so distant future because every single vehicle in my price range has a body like Swiss cheese.

Relevant, I am also interested in seeing these.

The chrome extension linked in this thread has made dead photobucket pics work for me.

If you also right click the image and select view image it will pull it up on the photobucket website.

These should show up since they were on imgur:

I make no claims to be a welder. This is a welding process that allows for tin to be stuck together with little training. I can usually train someone in an hour if they are in my shop.

The method is also agnostic to wire diameter: It is based on a time constant that works for whatever the welder is set up for. Pick a tempo that you can repeat in your head "One steamboat" or One Mississippi" and adjust the heat and or wire speed until you get the first dot to bridge the gap. Then just move to the front face of that dot and let the tempo, gravity and capillary action do the work for you. Remember, wait for the red glow to just go away before you hit it with the next.

On a separate note, I would love to try this with a shielding gas post flow like the TIG welder has. Wonder how to convert the MIG to that function?

OK. I actually have those pictures saved, because they were so useful. Like, I heard you made those pictures and hunted through years of posts to find them then saved them.

I finally got to my laptop and got the extension installed, 2 of the pictures show up, one of a drill bit, and one of a replacement piece tac welded on.

It's the cutting out and pattern making parts I was hoping could be reuploaded, the thumbnail says they were moved or deleted, and following the url doesn't bring anything up either.

I'm sorry to be a pain in the ass, I think I understand the descriptions, but I'm more a visual learner.

Not sure if I can get those photos or not, let me try.

In reply to NOHOME:

This feature does exist on some MIG welders. I know that the one that Wreck Racing has can do both pre- and post-flow, but it's also a relatively gigantic and fancy 250 amp machine (Miller 252).

OK, now I recall the job. It was fixing a buddies son's Durango truck. Part of the reason they don't show up is because I deleted the pictures from photobucket trying to make more room.

OK, while I can't repopulate that thread, here are a couple that I did for the Volvo crowd that shows the replacment of the sills on the Molvo. One using a factory sill and the other side where I make my own sill.

Let me know if this is any help or if you have a specific challenge that I can help with.

Thank you, that's almost exactly the work I'm going to have to do come spring on the miata.

Really, thank you for taking the time to dig it up.

Did someone say "drill out some spotwelds on a Miata?"
