Yeah. I did some useful work with mine after much frustrating trial & error. Example: Bracket for a lifting mechanism, to convert a drag-only spike harrow. I used the stick welder for anything larger than this.Yeah, I spent many hours with that stupid thing [HF 'MIG-100' flux welder] and all I knew is what it took to get it to weld, once I figured out it welded decent with .035" wire I just stayed there and realized what it took to get decent welds, then once I played with actual good welders I realized it was backwards... That thing is now at my brothers and he's managed to get it to work here and there and I use it to work on things when I'm there and am not thinking ahead enough to bring a better welder...
But what I have now is far better.
