MIG Welding for a chump.

submitted by MaryXmas to Welding 8 monthsAug 31, 2024 18:53:27 ago (+10/-0)     (Welding)

I have a entry level mig welder I picked up a few years back and I am embarrassed to say I haven't fired it up a single time. I got it with the intention of repairing my lawn mower buggy but never put in the time or effort to learn. This would be a very entry level welder, it has flux core wire that is fed through the welder.
Can anyone recommend some very basic projects or a path towards learning? I have watched a number of videos and know about rocking it back and forth. Also, I am a little concerned about getting electrocuted so I don't know what the level of danger is. I do have an auto darkening mask but would probably just wear work gloves and a regular jean jacket to start?

No problem, if you have any fabrication questions, I can answer almost all of them. I literally do this shit for a living and have for over 20 years now.
