I passed my pipe test! Thanks for the tips! Now to get hired somewhere.

Appreciate the help everyone! On a 2 inch 6g test do most do cover passes in quarters or do u guys do 1/2 the pipe? I'm welding it in quarters.

Thanks again for the advice. This is from the bottom view. The good news is it at least looks like stringer beads, the bad, they look a little rough. Tried the 1,2 count stalling a bit at the top. The first pic starting the post is a side view. Any critique greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Gary

Greatly appreciate the advice! Will give it a go. Root passes are fine(easy to see where I'm going) cover passes are a struggle

Any suggestions on getting this cover looking better? 2 inch 6g test in 3 weeks. Thanks, Gary
