(44) The trailer was welded with a old 225 amp Lincoln stick welder that I was given about 30 years ago. I had only tried it once on stainless steel about 10 years ago and had no idea what I was doing and the end result showed it. The piece I welded ended up in the trash. Needless to say, I was very reluctant to try it again. I had previous experience with gas welding and was very good at it. I built two bi-planes with gas welded frames made with 4130 tubing. I now have no gas equipment. Since I had this 225 amp relic sitting there defying me to use it I decided to give it one more try. This time I did my homework and bought a video on stick welding a good helmet, shirt and gloves. After buying several types of welding rod I actually began to put some decent welds together. I checked my welds and when I was sure the penetration was correct I started welding the trailer. I would not recommend this type of welder to the novice. Use a wire feed mig or tig welder.
