IMO if u can mig good, you can use a 110v welder (within its limits) to weld just about anything. i weld alot so i have alot of experience in it.

sadly ,that fabrication sucks major!!!!! . that kid= fail. he should have gotten the right stuff first and not tried to cheap out.

Oh I agree, I have a small 135 Hobart with a 75/25 mix gas and is welds like a dream. But the flux core wire is nasty

I will always comend someone for trying, as there are things I would not even think of attempting. As for the results, at least if he learns then its was a useful effort, if he does not, then he should give it up.
