Quoted comment by masterDbater: looks good.....

I never liked welding....I always get slag in places I dont want it

yeah can be a big prob..we learn not to embed slag by having to grind it out and re weld..
you learn quick that way believe me...LOL

Nice weld. I always regret leavng a gas welding course halfway through the final piecees because I found another job. Theres something really satisfying about making stuff out of metal.

Sorry but it doesn't look like a proper root or first pass, Shouldn't it be with smaller rod ? Looks good, Can you tell every1 in the class that if they fail on the flat to please leave and never weld anything structural Thx.........

Nice T-joint, do you just try to close your eyes at the flash or do you get to use a mask? Adidas trackpants melt or combust surprisingly fast though lol

the placement rate for the school is 85% @ 39k a year so looks pretty good given the recent sour economy...
