Re: scrap steel
You could go to an exhaust shop and ask if they have any scrap metal.

Re: scrap steel
It's just some 1' x 8" scrap, nothing big, a friend gave me for doing the same thing Colton wants to do, practice.

Re: scrap steel
if you gonna be worth yer salt at welding, size of the steel, or the quality of your machine shouldnt matter. Prep work is where its at. Clean steel welds easy, bottom line. Try welding a penny to an aluminum can, then your good.

its a hood, but thats cool. I can weld a penny to a can. Its an old welders trick. I learned from an old welder so i know all the tricks. I can even bend 6 dry rods over my neck, supposed to be impossable.
Honestly you will weld good, if you take your time, and clean everything really good. It takes time thoe, so keep practicing. Also keep in mind that its refered to as "a process", follow the steps and you will have a good result. Unlike girls, penatration isnt good enough.
