Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...

Nice work. progress is fun stuff!

I don't know about welding with a magnet in the that close to the joint but they are right over the joint so it looks like they are just to hold them in place to tack. Tacking them in place with a magnet is fine, thats what those particular magnets are for. I have used them for years at work and at home.

The welding arc creates its own magnetic field so having another magnet near would likely pull the arc out of place. I'm going to get the answer though I'm interested to know.
