cheers alec, i mentioned gospel earlier, sorry for that, every now and again something crops up where a different approach is required, more of that later
.[ treat these pics at least the first 3 as a what happened next, can you spot a weakness here, obviously the final responsibility lies with me. f/j

as you say jay, the prep is far too shallow , is that acute? the lad who did this and a number of setups is now my boss so i suppose its just right. the prob to myself and anyone who comes across this ,is drop the amps. i would normally and did here go for 120 amps rolling the second pass," i suppose the hot pass" . this is a term i am familiar with, yet on this occasion meant nothing.as the root went in at around 100 amps , i could have easily followed with 100 amps aware of the danger.f/j

hi
great stuff but i notice you only cap your pipework in huge single runs, i do a lot of pipe welding and always weld multi cap runs, i just tested out again recently and did the usual 6g " carbon pipe and capped it off with 4 passes, i also did a 2" tig 5.5mm thick test and even that had a 2 run pass.
