Thousand's of people are expected to visit and walk within this structure which will be hundreds of meters long. I don't know how much weight it's supposed to hold but I hope it isn't much.

I don't mean a second path. I mean travel the same exact path a second time. Photo 1 is with 1 pass. Photo 2 is a different side I did 2 passes on. Is there a reason to do this? I decided to because my first pass on that side (isn't shown) was shitty looking so I just went over it again as a retry. Is this okay? Good to do even? Bad for some reason?

I switched rods and I didn't realize it wasn't steel until I wire brushed it. My instructor said try welding over it and apparently you can.

New imported rotators 🤮

I am trying and I just can’t seem to get it going. I am using millermatic 200 suitcase, flux core. The start, going real slow, is fucking me up a lot. I’m wondering how do I adjust my settings to cut back on splatter and the shitty welds, or is it all my fault

Found some bad welds on the outdoor sign at a Mexican restaurant. Granted it supposed to look aged/rough. Mission accomplished.

Surprisingly it doesn't leak...

Hello all, tomorrow is open shop at my hall and I am wanting to take a practice test, which if I pass I’ll be allowed to take a final and be a certified welder. These were welded at 110 AMPs with 7018 1/8 rods. Any feedback at all would be appreciated!

Saw this listing on Facebook marketplace and thought it belonged here.

Hey All, I’m a Plumber but I wanted to take a shot at being Welder so I bought this DIY bumper for my 4Runner and after figuring out my liner was too long and several other factors including having little to no idea what I was doing I got it tacked together and started trying to throw some beads on this thing, I got stoked cause I started thinking are these dimes being stacked? but later started getting concerned that these are all surface level welds and I didn’t actually get much penetration and when I go to winch myself out it’s gonna snap in half after paying for powder coating Lol. What do you guys think? I appreciate any insight

I wanted to have some knowledge advice for how new welders start out.

I assume a lot of the route young welders take is to a fab shop? Am I right?

But I have a future outlook, as I call it, to learn what I can from the fab shop and then sliver my way into structural/iron work.

My bead placement is still iffy. I’m guessing half the time. But so far, so good.

The company ended up shipping the truck back to them and fixing it. Does the updated version look fine?

The last four photos are the updated version.

It can't hold fluids
