No, those are the tops of my welds. As for the 2 second rule, I got that from the guy in the video. Yes, I have a mop wringer handle and a metal shoe rack to do some welding on.
I finally got to experiment with my mig welder. I decided to practice spot welds to start. I used 1/16" steel, 023 solid core wire and the wire speed halfway. I experimented with the heat control. I used the 2 second rule. I used the highest heat on the last weld on the right, and it burned...
