Very nice work.
Good stuff! While I did learn the basics of welding and fabrication early in my maintenance and engineering career, I never got to hone and perfect the skills like this. Every once in a while when I do get to break out the MIG welder, my first few welds are pretty embarrassing due to lack of practice. :dono
You have a real job and it's not welding. Don't be too critical of yourself. I run a few beads when MIG welding myself to get in tune with the wire speed and puddle fluid behavior. I mostly TIG so unless doing thin Stainless speed is not much of a issue.Quote:

Too funny. I use different sized reading glasses under my hood because some TIG weld my face is right in the Puddle and other times it's 4-5ft away. A fixed magnification would kill me. I have a stack of Cheaters on the machines - all different powers.Quote:
