Well sorta...

Hobart made some bacon sounds last night. Molten blobs of metal adhered to flat sheets of metal. Not in any straight or consistent way, but they are there. They are holding stuff!

Onto the next step. My gizmo needs legs. Tonight, I add legs to this monstrosity .

The first Hobart hardware I had exposure to was, as a teen, an industrial dishwasher. Naturally it was assumed to be an entity named Hobart, just as you are discovering with your welder. There’s kind of a perverse-name-shinto that sets in.

Hobart welders being entry-grade Miller hardware is a great thing, because it means Hobart-branded hardware items like nozzles are more widely available for people with Millers, and it means some specialty Miller items (like 20' torch tubes) will fit a Hobart.

What I’m saying is, if you have a machine that says “hobart” on it, it’s easy to call the machine “hobart”. Like a dude’s name: the machine is a dude named Hobart . The way your post is written sounds like you’re doing that, but I may have misread.

I’ve posted couple of other posts earlier in the week.

I attempted to weld with fluxed core and I got something that looks like popcorn. Many suggested I add a bottle of funny gas and a regular wire and try.

Totally different experience and result.

Tho molten metal looks more like molten metal than hot glue drip, it is still shitty looking because I need more practice.

Yes. Hobart.. Lincoln. Whatever... I have nothing else to compare it to so I don’t know what bad looks/feels like.

sorta like learning to drive in a lambo. What you mean your corolla goes 0-60 in 5 years?
