Talking



Talk about chicken chit welds. Looks like you used bubble gum.

You have to start somewhere. The more you weld. The better you get at it. You just need someone to show you a few methods on how to move the weld puddle to smooth out the weld. You pushing or pulling the puddle? And are you using a steady motion (looks steady to me with a nervous tick), or stop and go? Always practice on a piece of scrap before you weld your parts. Before you weld. Get yourself in a comfortable position. Hands supported. If not. It will show in your welds.

Basically you nailed it, I got nervous. I was going slow then I started moving fast and then slowed down again. I didn't work with the puddle. My pace was messed up.

I was pulling toward me.
