Thread: Welding pipe at angle onto RHS

Thanks also to those who suggest the bashed flat method. Bashing steel is very therapeutic, and I think I myself recommended this very method on this forum for monkey bars! Will try it the hard way as practice is a good thing to have.

Well I had a crack and it was easier than I thought. I've attached a photo of the first attempt for your amusement. Main problem was trying to constantly contort around at the appropriate angle. Dodgy weld I know, but it's good enough and with some judicious grinding and a generous coat of paint it should be pretty right.

Surprisingly I had no trouble underneath. I used 2.5mm Liquidarc "Easyflo Supa" rods which are for "the less experienced welder". I reckon they are mirical rods. The angle is around 30 degrees. Didn't even look like blowing through using Grahams method and the little Ozito welder handled it amirably.

Good one acton, you've obviously got the hang of it, you will only get better

As I said before best to do several small welds than try and maintain constant electrode angle around a circular weld.

For a first go I'd sat the weld is a great start!

Its a big post for chooks. Are they the size of Emus?

Glad to see it worked out for you.
