Welding Test

August 2nd, 2009

Gave the welder a spin.  I won’t be quitting my day job anytime soon.  I tried some thin bandsaw material first, but it was a complete failure.  then I got some 1/8″ mild stock and cleaned it up and tried that.  I did one side and it was terrible.  I changed my tack on the back side and it came out a little better, excet the weld didn’t go all the way through (form improper preperation).  I bought some sheet metal to practice butt-welds on.

First side - really bad.

First side - really bad.

Second side - not as bad.
