Sorry for your loss Windy.

Back to the original question. A stainless Ferrell can be tig welded to copper quite easily. No filler required, just fusion weld it, keep most of the heat on the copper. One would would think that the copper could take a ton of heat once you start, but you have to be careful not no burn it. Get ha...

Thanks fellas

Happy Birthday Bent

I look forward to it Bushman

We caught some nice big ones a couple of weeks ago in Hunter Bay. It was a nice way to start our vacation

Lookin good Jar

I am thinking positive for your quick recovery Salty

Happy Birthday Windy

Nothing better than being on the water, we are very blessed to have these islands in our back yard.

Thanks Empty, Crow and Wannab. Bushman, you are welcome to stop by the shop anytime, I can't be responsible for showing you my bad habits though..
Got it put together yesterday and did some cleaning runs, plates loaded nicely and looks to be a good runner.

Good looking stuff Bent, I bet your anxious to give it a run

I have just been getting mine from the skagit farmers supply in Burlington. The stuff your looking at looks good though.

That looks great. :clap: :clap: Did you get equally good penetration on both materials? Concentrated the heat on the copper and let the puddle consume the stainless, took at bit to get the hang of it but am amazed how well they flow together. OK I need more details if you can. Gas, electrode type a...

Thanks fellas, ya got me Pfshine, had to give it a go...

There have been a few threads on the site about welding copper to stainless. A fellow member "Bentstick" sent me some four inch copper a while back and have been waiting for the time to work on some modules. Because I am cheap, I am using stainless ferrels, and have decided to tig them tog...

Happy Birthday Fully

Happy birthday Stubby, hope ya have a great day!!

Happy Happy Birthday Googe, hope you enjoyed your day

Thanks fellas, was a nice day. Yes Bent, hopefully one day the three of us can celebrate together. We should make a effort to meet up Bushman, I would enjoy that.

Happy Birthday Crazy, hope Blondie took good care of ya today!!

Happy Birthday Bent, glad your enjoying your day!

Have a great day Bushman, Happy Birthday!!

A lot of people think that a good weld has to have filler material added. There is another method that I suggest you might try called the fusion method. No filler material added. Most of the computer chip plants employed this method cause it is so clean. Although it is a computer driven process call...

I have the tungsten sticking out 3 times its dia. in other words 3/16 on a 1/16 tungsten and a #5 cup. The cup is in the way and I can't see the weld puddle worth a crap. I'm thinking about getting a gas lens, so the T can stick out farther and I can see what's happening better. Also thinking about...

Thanks for all the effort so far Rick! And I got to say I am really happy to see the change of attitude here at HD towards HDA

Three plates for me

Look at what you started Googe hehehe

I do accept that smearing is a part of distillation. It is the the nautural scientific process of a solution, changing as the concentrations change and nothing is ever constant. The difference is I understand the ammount of smearing going on in my parrot and I can manage my cuts accordingly, versus...
