So My family owns a machine shop for rebuilding engines and it has a welding station for welding heads and various equipment needing repairs. I by no means have experience in welding but would like to start anyone have some good practice/practical builds they know of to start out.(Note the picture is not the welding unit just a general one.) Also the machine is a argon gas and electricity (3 phase) welder.
