Looks good. I have not been to QAO school yet so I cannot officially critique the welds but penetration looks good but it looks like you have some porosity up on the face of the cover

It takes about 3/4 to 1 lb of wire......
But those welds look pretty good, I think it will pass inspection.....

Never ever call yourself a welder unless you do it for a living.
I just tell people I can stick pieces of metal together.

So far I have about 1/2Lb of wire and around 2-3 Cu-Ft of Argon/CO2 into the first cover. I have a spare spool of ER70S6 but it is .023 so I will just buy another .030 spool. The crappy thing is that my welder doesn't like the 10Lb spools.....
I am sure that the covers will not leak when I am done, but I will test them anyways. I know I have overlooked holes before

Here are a few more pics from tonight. I finished welding and grinding the outside of the cover, and started the inside again.
I decided to smooth out all of the welds on the outside because I think it will look cool. Not necesary though.
BTW...GravelMaker. These things are stout.
Giving my little welder one hell of a workout.

Headed out to do more "beer welding". Should be done with the cover tonight, except for the fill plug, and paint.

Well, for drinking as much as you are your welds look pretty good.....
I would say it should stay together......

Just finished the welding on the first cover. Still need to drill the hole for the fill plug and weld that in.

Just in case anyone was wondering.
Drilling a 1 5/16" hole through 3/8" thick A50 is a real PITA.

we laser cut the standard welded ones.....
However, it is nice to have a choice of where to put the plug too.

Yeah, it is nice. On a beer break now, since i killed one Dwealt XRP 18Vdc battery. Waiting for the other one to charge now since I had a complete lack of forethought on charging it.....

Do you have a corded drill? If not I can bring mine to work and you can pick it up on your way to home.
