/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>How thick? Maybe if you bevel.
I didn't even get out to inspect the job myself, I'm told the beam is over an inch, potentially multiple and the pole is probably no more than 3/8ths thick hollow, pic related
>Not gonna make it. Get scrap metal and practice. It is not hot metal glue gun.
Appreciate it, I start actual practice on monday after I help a relative move, today is a research day and this weekend I have to rip up and re-shingle a roof in 90+ heat
Just need to be able to do about 4 tack welds by the end of the week

pic related is all three parts that need to be welded, pole on the right, steel beam on top of a thin rail
I was told the raid is probably about 3/8ths inch thick max, steel beam is solid and pole is likely hollow. I don't even know what materials they are, I'm guessing steel. They were already welded in the past but just need some tack welds to keep in place

We have plenty of angle grinders, though this doesn't need to be a pretty weld at all and as far as I''ve been told the weld doesnt even need to be strong, you can hold the rail up easily and the pole-to-beam weld is just to keep them from knocking together
>It's an FCAW, not a MIG or stick
Thank you, I will do that.
