I am takeing a welding class this semester for college. I am talking mig welding then going to take tig and then ark. I have been wanting to make a welder for a year or so. Got a few questions.
What kind of barrel should i use. I found some new steel painted for about 50 bucks. There just normal steel drums. closed caps or opend either way.
They sya they have rust inhibitor or a eboxy coating. I know the eboxy coating is not need and properly a bad idea but what about the rust inhibitor.
They have them down to 8 gallons i was thinking a 55 for the meat box and a 20 for the smoke box properly just a normal off set unless any of you have a better idea. Also with paying 50 bucks per barrel then the racks stand welding it all my self and painting it. Could i make a few and maybe sell them and make alittle cash. Or would trying that be a waste of time. I have a nieghbor that has a torch i am sure i could use to cut everything.
Just need to get the welder which i plan to any way. What would the complete setup be worth. also any plans for the setup or the stand would be great.
