JD Brewer took on a project of building a 60 ft long rack that goes in a factory that works with long metal rods. He built a 40 ft section first. That will be cut in half with bolted flange connections welded on to facilitate transport and installation.
Dual shield flux core welding using a Lincoln Electric powermig 256 and .035" 71m wire.
Dual shield flux core welding is great for large projects like this one.
It's a very robust welding process that puts down lots of weld metal quickly and has no trouble penetrating over light mill scale.

JD ordered a cart for his shop that included bottom drawer and foot pedal holder. In this video, we use a torch switch at high amperage for tack welding, then we compare straight welding current to pulse TIG.
And.... we experimented with pulse settings using silicon bronze rod and lay wire techn...
