Great tute, thanks! So THIS is how to do it properly! Years ago, I repaired
a 5″ bench vise that had broken in half. I used a 230V wirefeed, cranked
waaay up, using .035 Innershield (FCAW). I hit that thing with such a
vengeance, I think it took hours before I could touch it barehanded! It
never did crack and is still good to this day, guess I got lucky. Next
time, I can really do it right!

very good, you should make some ”how to” videos for better understanding
on welding and don’t forget ”tips”

I agree this was informative, all the other I’ve viewed so far are just
testimonial marketing BS, Content interests me, I’m not coming here for
advertising.

Lot’s of good information, but peening should be done with a ball peen. The
Chipping hammer is pointed and will add stress. Love your explanation of
cooling.
