Hi Paul
I am also building a K350 I agree with Frank when I started I could weld
but not the kind of welding demanded by the construction of a pressure vessel I
had a mig machine but it was not strong enough so with the advice of the psubs
group I went the stick route I obtained an old 400amp machine and only
use E7018 and 316L 4mm rods for the fine work I use Tig I also
purchased Welding Secrets Revealed CD-ROM through one of the members sites it
helped stacks
In the beginning I used the grinder allot grinding out bad welds but now I
would not let anyone regardless of there qualifications weld any part of my sub
not only that but I purchased a lathe and have learnt so much and love every
moment of manufacturing the different componenants
I found building my sub has taught me discipline and that's the key I
believe to the whole process.
All the best
Glen South Africa
