Spot welding assembly with pivotable electrodes

A spot welding assembly for welding a first work piece to a second work piece. The spot welding assembly includes a base. A base electrode is coupled with the base for supporting the first work piece. A welding gun is moveable toward and away from the base. A gun electrode is coupled with the welding gun for supporting the second work piece and for locating the second work piece against the first work piece upon movement of the welding gun toward the base to allow the first and second work pieces to be welded to one another. The base electrode is rotatable and pivotable relative to the base, and the gun electrode is rotatable and pivotable relative to the welding gun.
