welding

What I meant was just practicing puddles on flat plat before starting joints, I do agree the t-joint is the best for beginners.

its acc harder to maintain a puddle on a completely flat surface, than it is one with a groove/bevel.

Got some new electrodes to try out today (6013 1/8) as well as traded in fixed shade helmet for auto dark. But its fucking raining and my 220 is in my carport, so no welding tonight. Pissed off tbh. Found about four foot if 3/8 square tube. Need more and make a nice welding table

Found and addressed a pretty big issue, i was using a 6010 which is a rod designed for DC, my machine is AC. Picked up some 6011 1/8 and 6013 1/8. A lot less fussy getting my arc going and cleaner welds.

EDIT: also got to use my auto dark helm today its a whole new world. Also @ delt, my helm came with a extra lens, green. I fucking love it

I've welded a few times, but I suck balls at it.
