I had a broken door handle. I think someone tried to repair it in the past but a little pressure and the end just broke off. So I decided to repair it, after all if it's broken.., anything is an improvement. Well almost anything.
I purchased some 5/16 square stock and decided to weld a new section of stock to the handle. Before attempting the weld. I measured and drilled and tapped the end for a 10-32 screw. I squared the pieces in my drill press vise then went to town with the wire welder.

I welded all four sides and ground each side down, before doing the next. The results were excellent. Almost impossible to tell the two pieces were joined together.

Nice!
Great job!
I had a crappy welder for years then I bought a Hobart and all of a sudden my welding improved 200%
Interesting?? I guess it doesn't pay to buy cheep tools. Money well spent.
Nice Chet. 2nd that for the tools unless you use once and give to someone you don't like. lol
