Sence I started this post we have been trying to get our new computer up and runing. It's working now.
Years ago I started out with a 200amp buzz box and a Lincoln 125 amp flux core welder. I liked the little flux core machine. It was portable and I did not have to mess with a bottle. My welds were clean too with just a little bit of flux on top. I should not have sold it, if I find another one used for sale I'd buy it.
Quoted: Haven't even converted my welder over to run the gas yet, it is still running flux core. Just to give you an idea, My welds look like runny boogers But they hold good enough

Take your time and practice lots. You can weld 1/4 inch steel all day long. Run three passes and it should not brake. It helps a whole bunch if some one shows you a few times starting out till you get it down. Kooter are welcome to come up any time and bring your welder and I'll help you get a good looking bead.
