Show us your best welding

[Hood]

When your doing it day in day out it becomes second nature as you clearly demonstrate mk.

But only if you have an interest in bettering yourself as MK clearly does
There are many people who will just plod on not caring and just pick up the wage packet at the end of the week.

The threaded boss in the last pic was not welded by me by the way

The rest is all by me and made from scratch from bare sheet, tube and the bare cores

Some tidy work there buddy!
Would be interested in knowing who you work for as may need some alloy tanks and intercoolers making, (message me if don't want to state publicly)

Me too mate.
I used to be very handy with the 3G on 7016’s. Held codings for it for years and used to do it all day on site. Not been in that game for 5 years now and boy does it show.

Have you tried practising with filler yet Ian. It’s the best way to learn mate.
Tig welding is 90% of the time a 2 handed process. When I have people round for a tuition session no matter what there skill level is we start straight away with filler.

 

[Ian James]

@Richard. That was using filler but then admittedly in went back over and blended it tightly or wrongly so

Depends mate. Sometimes it’s pretty harmless to use the arc to blend out weld toes and other times it’s disastrous
In your case there it’s completely harmless.
Keep practicing mate and put up your pics before you wash them out so it makes it easier to spot things and pass on some pointers.
