deathblade, try cleanin up your workpieces a little more, i'd use a grinder, or even a wire wheel... all that silicon on your bead (the crusty brown shit), is impurities that youre burning up in the puddle... other than that, not too shabby :thumbsup:

Yeah, I think you're right.....shoulda wicked up the heat a little more. I'm still learning as I go. Been quite a while since I've done much welding.

the technique of the weld looks very neat though! its always better to be a little hot rather than cold
oh and that is a sexual welder ya got there!

before you burn in those d-ring mounts, preheat them to around 300 degrees, since they're quite a bit thicker than the bumper....it'll also prevent subsurface cracking from the thicker material soaking up the heat and cooling that side of the weld.... its basically like quenching a hot weld...

and yes, every weld was done ONE TIME, using filler wire and NO I DID NOT go back over the welds to "smooth" them out...and yes I was walking the cup, no reason to freehand it... plus it only took about a minute and a half to do the 2 4" pipes and the smaller ones, the 2", were an absolute PITA since they're about 1-1/2" apart
