My new project !!

sh*t, imma have to make a duck huntin trip with ya 3 wheeler. I only live like 4 hours from you dude. Im from the waco area. Going to school there at TSTC. I aint never been duck huntin but have wanted to go pretty bad. Plus it'll give me a reason to run a few boxes of shells through the old 12 gauge.

well come on....early teal season starts in mid september and goes for 2 weeks and big duck season starts the first weekend in november and runs thru january...lemme know when you can make it and ill try and get you on some I:I
 
the boats lookin pretty good bro !!!!

and my experience with the 2 aluminum spool guns i've used is you have to keep it way further from your work than you do with mig'n steel ?????
 
i been trying awk, its hard to break the mig habit of being close. its wierd the wire never touches the metal it sprays in. when i try to keep the 3/4 stick out that everybody recommends i cant even get it to weld sometimes, it burns all the way at the tip and will melt a tip in a split second. got a few people to call tomorrow and ask a few questions.
 
got a little more done today.....got the front rake pulled together and tacked all the way up, one of the rear supports and got the 20 degree angle cut for the transom. hopefully by the weekend ill have the transom all the way in where i can start on the runners and floor supports.

i also swapped to 4032 wire and it welds soooo much better. not quite as strong as 5036 but the welds are much better
