First Post Here
I am new to welding but I have a project that I would like to do in the spring. which is to build myself a motorcycle trailer. I originally started out with the notion of doing it entirely with my MillerMatic 180 with autoset. The trailer will be made out of aluminum. I have been researching construction methods etc... Does anyone here know of a good spot to find out the correct joining methodology for aluminum? Or any good aluminum trailer plans?
Also, I have been taking classes and have really been liking the TIG machine. So much that I got one off the internet. It is one of the Chineese jobs with 250 Amp AC/DC/Pulse TIG, 250 Amp stick and 55 amp plasma cutter for around $1200. If anyone is interested, I'll give a blow by blow account of how it works, bearing in mind that I am pretty new to this. I will have about 80 hours in class time by this november - I am taking 4 nights a week
- and am slated for the 40 hour Lincoln electric school this January.
