I didn't want to hijack another thread.
Here ya go.
Wish I could say that I did that, but I spent all my time in metal shop at a lathe or in the foundry. 20/20 hindsight and all.....

Willard now you just need about 100 more cans and a set of wheels!!

Interesting way to do it.
Most people weld the bottoms together.
It's a little thicker there around .009 but still a pain to do.
Was this Tig? The one welded to the plate looks like Tig but the other?
Pretty amazing, even no sign of heat on the cans.

let me take that dynasty away from you and give you a1980s lincoln idealarc , that's what I did mine on. ( I was testing the machine out after
reawakening it from being sitting in a corner for yrs.
Dynastys and syncrowaves make welding aluminum easy.
You take my miller big 40 diesel deluxe ac/dc, and that is just raw AC , no balance control, no frequency control,really have to work at it w/
that.
Wish , they could take the brains of the dynasty and put it on a diesel platform.
And of course you did drink the contents right before welding that ,right.
no sign of heat on them cause of wire brushing

Yea I know what your talking about.
First cans I ever tried was on a Miller Dialarc. Had to be a 70's machine. Big transformer type. Could only get an inch or two.
But that machine is still in use today.
So I guess those are your cans Weldngod. Even with the Dynasty I want no part of doing the sides like that.
Never seen that before and its so thin there I'd have to drink a case a day just to practice. 
But not just before. Hahahaha
How thick is that plate the can is welded to? I hear thats a tough weld to make also. I've never tried to put a can to something thats going to need
that much more heat.

NO not mine at all
here is an old one of mine I would have to look in my pic archive to find some others. People get me to do it at work all the time.
I make these other things called stick f%$@!ers, I make them out of the tig rod stubs that accumulate when I'm production welding. I make em in any
"position"
Hardrock - 21-3-2010 at 08:45 AM
Oh yea, Thats a nice bead around the cans.
If you ever take any pics of the stick f%$@!ers, send one my way as I have no clue what that is.
I'm always looking for cheap little things to do when nobody has any welding to be done. I don't weld for a living, tho I would like to. Just do it on
the side. Weld boat props in the summer for a friends Prop Shop when he needs help.
Got to repair a pistol case and cattle gate just recently. The gate was sweet job. 50 bucks for 50 minutes. Pulled the cuz's Bobcat out to it.

Hardrock, imagine stick men and women mating
Hardrock - 21-3-2010 at 02:17 PM
LOL, ok no pic needed.
rocfighter - 21-3-2010 at 03:25 PM

Practice Drew, practice. I have been welding since I was 12-13 Y.O., I'm 45 now. So Iv'e had a bit of practice.
Roc , yes I call em "stick fu$%#^s", if you throw a dozen on a coffe table , your friends will play w/ them for hours . nasty little things they
are, but funny as heck.
