I used perhaps 3/4 of my 3/32" sharpened electrodes (that now need resharpening) to weld these few items. You really need a steady hand and good close up vision. Get too far away and heat goes everywhere (and things you don't want begin to melt), get too close and you ruin electrode. I welded the stud plate to nut on both the back and front side (12 welds each).
