Going to try my hand at welding

[TerryMason]

cool, making great progress. Now here come the critics. First weld looks great. I noticed you did not tack it on both sides before welding. even thou the job turned out very good. A spot on your second bead in my opinion could have used a spot more weld added to it. You would want the same type of round weld on top of your weld as in the first weld, it is what gives you strenth to the weld. I'm not a welder by trade, one of those machinest dudes that picked it up. But good job dude.

No offense taken. For the second bead, I turned down the wire speed and moved slower, and you're right, it didn't turn out as well. I should have left the settings alone.
If you had done that, would you have added a second pass?

I would have just added another pass on the low spot. But I think your good to go, good job.
