And then the next one looks like a pile of bird crap and I want to check the torch into the lake  some of the welds on the cart look pretty damn good for a beginner... And others look like hell..,
Feeling decent on the butt weld..., still struggling with fillet welds.. Keep blowing through the upper section or getting a decent puddle flowing..,
Sometimes I feel like I'm getting more time grinding tungsten vs actually welding.. |
If it was easy --- your buddy RobW could do it.....
Hang in there -- watch some videos -- this is a skill set that needs to be learned and it doesn't come easy or cheap. Once you get the hang of it - you can sell the MIG because it'll just sit in the corner.
