Just trying to improve my welding before I tackle the car and I had a few questions.
1. what do you think? I know it is pretty messy but it is a world apart from where I started. 2. Once you have blown a hole in the metal how do you go about filling it? I have tried "stitching" across the hole but all I seem to do is move the hole around (fill one area and make more hole in another. It seems this will become a critical skill when I get to the car and the new piece doesn't fit perfectly. I'll need to fill some gaps 3. What are the little pock morks on the top of each weld? Is it to be expected from metal shrinking or should I adjust my technique. this is both sides of the same weld. I should mention that I am using a Lincoln Electric (HD special) Mig welder with 75%Ar/25%CO2 gas Thanks for any pointers, John |
