Disc brake swap complete. Just got to bleed them now. That was my first major modification. Anyway, here's some welding practice pics on 16 gauge sheet with a hobart 125 running flux core. I'd appreciate any tips, pointers, critiques, whatever that you all would like to share. I'm still new to this welding but I'm slowly learning. My problem seems to be with penetration. I try to slow down my travel speed, but I can't slow it down too much, otherwise I'll start warping the metal. I get a really nice bacon frying sound when I weld, just like every video I've watched. What do you all think? First pic is topside and second pic is backside showing penetration. From left to right, it's first second and third runs. I stopped every inch or so and let it cool down for about ten seconds, then cleaned and started again.
