Welding Web Down?

[California]

View attachment 641319

Years ago in high school I got a Cadillac V8 bare engine as trade for something then sold it to a kid who was building a 34 Plymouth Coupe for the drag races. His first time out the engine twisted loose and the coupe came to rest on its side. No injuries but the car was trashed. A high school friend had persuaded him he knew how to weld and had borrowed someone's welder to made the motor mounts. The welds must have looked like that photo.


In contrast to that - here's one of the first repairs I made after buying a yard-sale $50 stick welder. (230a AC). It's the hinge for a single-panel wooden garage door - lap siding over wood framing - maybe 200 lbs. The rivet head at the end of the hinge pin had torn out of the lifting arm. This isn't pro level in appearance but its solid, no problems have appeared by now, 15 years later.

I saved a lot more than the cost of the welder compared to calling a garage door company to fix it. Advice I got on WW got me started in the right direction learning to use that welder.

Well I can now view. And log in. Tried posting. Worked twice , third time no. Cancel, edit and preview features don’t work.

Tried half a dozen ways that others were able to use to post pics and none worked for me.

Tapatalk is definitely out. Wondering if it is an iPad / iPhone problem.

WTF. Thinking about joining a sewing forum. Less BS and maybe better looking members.

The HVAC site mod said Tapatalk is a feature that needs to be turned on, and it isn't yet. Not an Iphone issue.

I was using google as a browser also but only have mobile devices. No laptop or desktop.

It acknowledges me when I log in and shows my notifications etc.

No problem quoting a post but no way to edit, preview, or cancel.

It just shows “working”

I’ll just leave it a few days and try again. Worst case scenario I’ll have to sell my welders.
