Getting cold here, maybe next year.

Attempting to apply a wood (log) platform for a firewood processor. 4 jacks to the corners, metal frame and roller conveyor Winter is coming. First post of linked thread has vid of a version of my build. https://www.weldingsite.com/threads/firewood-processor-simple-but.470/#post-20155

How about grinding the galvanizing away?

Have been setting up for MIG but thinking maybe fluxcore would be better. Doing welding to galvanized, of course it will be ground down, but outside. Will the gas blow away?

Boat trailer frame thickness, 0.070", 1.8mm Checked the welder setting chart, 80 amp. Should be good

Got a 20lb bottle of CO2 for the fizzy water and Ignorance being bliss, that and the set-up video had it, thinking 0.035" wire. Bought this for one job, might need a bigger bottle of the CO2. Wondering if it is worth going with the Argon gas... Any suggestions other than hire a good welder...

Toaster oven?

Yes, working too low is a consistent comment. Trying to figure the slope of the log rack, the slope from the cutting station to the wood splitter, that might be why he is so bent over, to get enough slope for gravity to serve up the butts. Just installed new springs, a few more details to tend...

Comments, please!

Have run Firewood Processor build on multiple forums, seems firewood guys are low on the social ladder, ha. Got a 25 year old woodsplitter, a welder just did $2,000 worth of refinements, nice welds,... still splits wood. Got a big galvanized boat trailer, had broken springs, otherwise solid...

Consider a landscape rake with wheels. Have a blade with 2 angles and tried a box scraper. My 7' rake needs 2 hydraulic rams welded on to really make it work more than me switching and adjusting the angles. A pro told me years ago, but I am slow and he did tell me..over and over.

No one has mentioned costs. Have a Harbor Freight abrasive, aware of the limitations, it was short money, with coupon. What should I expect to pay to cut stainless tubing for a bike turbo?

Not a solar golf cart, Promaster van with solar batteries, 6v Golf cart batteries are big many amps and a value, pretty cheap. Used 1" angle iron with square tubing. Should have cut the angle iron longer to give wiggle room, but the welder spaced them out and saved my bacon from the fire.

By "Old American Transformer stick welder," can you give some examples? Assuming one would look on Craigs list? How much would you spend if you were looking?
