I want to make some rustic or distressed looking picture/sign frames..
So I bought some 30mm x 30mm x 3mm mild steel angle.
I cut it at 45 degrees and clampled it up ready to weld.
I want it to look after grinding as one piece so you can not see the 45 degree corners.
Would it be better to weld the joints from the inside (you dont see the inside) and then grind the front side flat or weld from both sides, maybe only put a tiny bead on the front and grind the front flat?
I have a GYS smartmig 162.
thanks
