I know this isn't a picture of a jeep, but I was so excited about what I got to do today that I thought I would share it here. In the past, I have always looked at welding as extreme and never really thought that it was something I could do, but today I finally got a chance to try it out myself! Thanks to Mel at Off Road Evolution, I was able to get a quick lesson on the basics of mig welding and then I got to spend some time practicing.

Here are some pics of my 1st attempts .... my scrap "art"




I had a lot of fun with this and hope to learn more in the future, including how to weld on the trail.

I think WOL should have your work mounted on the JK somewhere

If you look at it as art, kinda looks like 2 whales gettin busy Learning to weld is something I always wanted to do, congrats on having someone teach you. I have a welding machine at my disposel , but no one to teach me.

That looks great! I took an 8 week welding night course earlier this year and that looks better than anything I ever did.

looks awsome, I have a hobby welder and it plugs into 120volt I am not sure of its capability. Anyone give me some advice on that.... I can not get 220v to my condo so I am stuck with what I got.

I have heard that females are supposedly able to shoot better than males cause they have more steady hands, looks like this may apply to welding too.


Very nice work! Looks like the home shop needs a welding machine!

actually, WOLette made the welds and not me.

hey now, just because WOLette can weld way better than me and out shoot me with a .45 doesn't mean ya have to rub it in

Those are nice looking welds. They look much better than some of the welds I have on my JK.
