Yes.My practice was building a Rotisserie,a shop press,a media blasting cabinet and a angle iron table for the blast cabinet.
At this point I'm relatively comfortable with the process and understand the basics.I just thought I would ask the question to see what other members opinions we're.I have used both push and pull and pulling seems to be easier,mainly visually.I worked with a gentleman that swore pushing was a better weld process,yet when I bought my miller the intro video showed pulling the weld.I figured if pushing was the correct way then miller would have showed this style welding.Definitely a lot of fun.I have noticed some days it seems easier than others.Thanks again.........
