That's a nice bead, bro.
You are a natural.
I know fuck all about welding. I decided, when I realized I'm absolutely shit at soldering, that I probably shouldn't try welding

b00ts @b00ts I hope you wore a mask. I saw a chap in the middle East stood on the top rung of a ladder welding a roof with a pair of ferris beuller glasses and a Tupac bandana covering his face.


In fact I should set up a cloud or whatever it's called. Every time I break my phone I lose all my photos, I've lost thousands of funny ones over the years

he is correct

that is very good for a first go...shit is dangerous but very useful

I dabbled when I worked in a big shop but I don't have access to it anymore and haven't in 5 years or so.

Welding is an art form. Under paid. Work with some of the best in the UK.

Great welders in the right circles are legendary. A true lost art in the modern world.

If that's your first go. Kudos. Mine looked more like pidgeon shit.

Heed the warnings though. Arc eye is no joke. And when you see the price they charge for welding on live gas mains... Just pay it. Not worth the gaurenteed explosion

I’ve only done stick and mig.... tig is beautiful on that stainless.
