The next step the welding .The power I will be useing is 70-80 amps ,now when you strike the arc it will have a aprox 200 amp spike to start the rod off.If the rod does not burn it could beyou dont have enough juice to burn .As with most things try on a piece of metal first to get the hang of it. Be careful of the arc you dont want a flash so wear glasses as well as the mask and keep people out of the way.I had one and it has left a burn bellow my left eye ,which people keep asking,
" have you been fighting" :lol:

The top shows the root weld keep the rod on moving from side to side. when you finish nock of the black slag and wire brush.
The next run is the fill again as above move from side to side.
The cap run is as above but pause at the edges to catch the edge of the join so the rod can fill up with weld.
