Nice job on the welding table.
Just consider that I'm self taught and still learning...
usually by/with mistakes :whoops:
I'm one of those guys, that buys a welder... first
then tries to figure out how to use one.![]()
Take a course at your local community college. Besides teaching you proper welding technque, you will also learn joint design and how to test your welds to make sure they are sound. While you can spot a bad weld visually, you can't be sure it is good just by looking. You don't have to finish the entire course to learn a lot.
that dude is like a God of welding.........I agree that tightening up your C's and slowing down could both help, but not consistently so. Meaning, you show the results of both errors, but in different welds.
From post #1:
Pic 1 looks a bit like a series of zap-zap-zap (spot welds) doesn't it? Tighten up the weave here.
Pic #3 has distinct V's...this could be excessive travel speed.
This is nitpicky, as I'm talking about a mm or two, and a fraction of a second.
Look at post #2, pic #3, the weld on left leg of the angle looks like the most technically correct GMAW weld bead, ie 'best'.
Have you checked out ZTFab's welds over on WeldingWeb™ - Welding forum for pros and enthusiasts - Powered by vBulletin Many can be found in the 'MIG like TIG' thread, in the MIG, TIG, Stick, and Oxy-fuel sub-forum.
Edit: Oh and BTW, you are 75% there friend. Those welds do look respectable.
