I mentioned a while ago that Fab Shop would be publishing an article
about welding 4130 steel, written by a specialist at Hobart. It's in
the current issue:

http://magazine.fsmdirect.com/2016/sept/d/#page7

It was being edited as I made my exit from the magazine, so it's
missing a couple of things I had wanted to include, and I didn't do
the final edit. But it's still helpful to anyone who wants some expert
advice on welding the stuff. Blaine Guy knows what he's saying.


Thanks Ed. Downloaded the whole mag to peruse later...

You should watch Jody's latest youtube video too. Some real world TIG
aluminum casting repair. It shows crack detection, prep, filling...
lots of nice little tips. Also a few little tidbits in the comments
here and there besides "cool!", "you're the best!" ;-)

That's really impressive. I imagine how much practice that must take
to get the feel for doing that. That's why we have pros.
