[Muddytazz]

looks pretty good overall, some of them look like you were going a little to fast tho

 

[84gmcjimmy]

looks ALOT better than mine did/do.

 

[surpip]

that is like the third thing i have ever welded in my life

 

[84gmcjimmy]

woah! you must be a fast learner! I still can't get a good weld, and I've welded probably 10 times before /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif /forums/images/graemlins/doah.gif

Looks about the same as mine. Of course I started off welding a lot of rusted body panels for practice. It's really hard to form a good bead when you're welding rusted sheetmetal. I think I made more holes with my welder than the rust did my first few times. /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif

I meant in general, drawing, guns, fighting, welding, goofy morning exercise

Use your other hand to steady the hand the gun is in and brace your elbow on something...

The welds look a little on the 'cold' side, but pretty uniform.

You mean the standard goofy morning routien doesn't work anymore? It's been working for me for several years /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif (hopefully it will keep working for several more /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif)

I would clean the surfaces a little better.

 

[tbill]

Not bad, not bad at all. Some look like you may have had too much gap between the rod and the work, causing the splatter. It was stick welding?
I tried wire welding for the first time yesterday, and I think I will have my trailer mounted welding rig for sale. The wire is sooooo nice.

 

[ugly_blazer]

Is that a shock mount?

 

[surpip]

yes shock mount and spring perch

dude as long as they will hold. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

 

[surpip]

got my fingers crossed

I would say cold welds and dirty parts. Make sure you have a good ground. Looks to me like flux wire feed, maybe not enough heat.
