In this video I am unboxing and testing my new Einhell stick welder, a cheap welding machine which I am going to be using for home and garden maintenance and DIY projects. I am really exited about getting started with welding, it is something I always wanted to do but I never got the chance to try it. So when me and my friends decided to start a project that involved welding it was the perfect opportunity to get one.
Initially I had ordered a MIG welding machine, but it never arrived and the refund process took over a month. So while waiting for my money, I stumbled across this welder, which only cost around 60$ and I thought I might give it a try. My intention was to start with MIG welding, but someone told me it is better to start welding with electrodes so I did. Eventually I will upgrade to a MIG welder and hopefully a TIG welder in a few years, but for now this stick welder is what fits into my budget.
I am a complete beginner and have never welded before, so this is actually the first time I ever welded. Unfortunately the amp setting for the welder is unreliable, so I had to try different settings before it actually worked. Whenever I took a different electrode or another sheet of metal with a different thickness I had to figure out the new settings just by trial and error. In general think it is alright for simple DIY projects and for getting started with welding, but it does have a steep learning curve and is certainly nothing for professional welding applications.
EDIT: I have now released the next project where you can see it in action, so if you enjoyed this video head over to this one: [LINK]
A big thank you goes out to Cornelius Katz, a young music producer for allowing me to use his songs in this video. I have used two of his tracks, you can check them out here:

If you have any tips for me to improve my skills leave a comment and I will read it. I hope you enjoyed this video - see you in the next one.
