passportplus aluminum bar

[Stu Miles]

Hi
Passport Plus 1/4 inch aluminum bar.
New to welding, with specific needs.
I want to weld 1/4 inch bar armatures to put canvas on.
So there is not much stress or weight - hopefully.

As to weight, would like to keep it down and would like to weld 3/16, 1/4 inch
aluminum bar round/square. Armatures may have 20 to 30 pieces of bar
between 1 and 3 foot long.

Working in tight quarters in garage, so am liking the low splatter
plus the size and portability of the passport plus.

Would the passport do the job tack welding ends of 3/16, 1/4 inch aluminum bar.
I realize I'll need the spool gun - with external tank of argon.

I've attached a photo of what I'd like to do with aluminum bar using
a passport plus.

Any advice appreciated,
Thanks, Stu
