]Well after reading a lot started my small mill project.
Started off with 2" square tube and 1/4 on top for bolt down points. Had out the little welder was not doing the job. So got out the bigger one after making a power cord for it. Discovered I don't like 6011 rod. Should have got the 6013. Got the base welded gonna need clean up. Did a small mockup up of what I have in mind for the column.
Well it got dark but did a bit of wire wheeling to the base. I really need to practice my welding more.
