[SEL] The Dying Maytag (Part 1 of 4)

[R & M Ingold]

it is not a grapgite stick. It is using a lump of graphite as a backing 
instead of copper or similar.

Reg thanks for your tips there are many a good idea that has been lost
because it hasnt been past on so thanks much appreciated i havent heard of a
graphite stick havent done much arc welding at this stage but for thicker
metals i think the arc welder produces a much nicer weld.brent

Hi Brent.
I get similar results with stick welding using Graphite and even carbon elec

brushes on small stuff. I really wish the tricks used by welders over the
years were recorded for our use. A lot of good info has been lost to us.

Jack i would like to see these others do better i cant do poetry but i love
old vintage engines and machinery today i was  welding up some old guards on
my fordson pickup i am restoring a little tip for welding thin metal use
thin metal copper strips behind where you are welding and you wont blow out
the metal worked really fine i held the strips in with g clamps or vice
grips.The weld doesnt stick to the copper and the copper dissapates the
heat.I used a mig welder with co2.They say when you retire you get busier.
