A friend of mine who is an amazing welder ( BTW also a pro stunt biker and putting together a drift car) told me I couldn't weld 2 soda cans together... so of course I had to try.... lol

This was my second attempt ever. Apparently it's a pretty common test of a good welder. Im just so proud that I had to share with u guys...... awww <3

I'm sure my friend is gonna say I cheated cause I used Coke cans, and he always does it with Pepsi... :)

i dont know if your joking or not fruit cake... but when it comes to welding alum, its extremly difficult. it needs to be at just the right temp if to low it wont weld, if to high just melts right through. with being able to weld the sides or even the bottom as he did which the thin metal (that cant take much heat before it melts cause it has no mas to help disapate the heat) together you would need to be extremly well in controling your heat.... so props to you you did well imo.... i havent even tried to weld alum yet.

ya alum welding suckkkks
its so hard
i cant do it
 
when i went for my certification they made me do the cans side to side. I couldnt get a solid bead all the way around but i still passed. They told my 1 out of 30 welders can do it and they practice like crazy to do it.
 
Damn now thats one thing I want to get into. I know not a damn thing on the matter. How much is a good set up to start out with? Id also love to tig. ... I dont think ill do any of that.
 
When i was shown this trick, the thick bottoms were cut off before welding them together.
 
tim a welder set up to be able to do something like that is going to be atleast 500+ bones. you have to get a welder that can take sheilding gases. also to tig you need a whole other machine for that...even bigger money.

Yea that makes it a lil harder because the body of the cans acts as a heat sink, taking away more heat before you burn holes in the aluminum.

To weld cans you need a TIG period. Just the amperage that an aluminum MIG needs to melt the wire initially will blast a giant hole in a soda can. Thinking now.... maybe if you crank the wire speed way up, but still the initial blast of a mig, versus the roll-on of a pedal..... I dont see it working...

Oh I know. just wondering price range. 500 isnt too bad for what it could save. but the question is...would I be a good enough welder to invest the mony into the equipment.
