mig and flux core tips and techniques, equipment, filler metal
Got a few in today. Definitely getting more comfortable with adjusting settings. Still not perfect but getting better. Fridays settings were perfect having a hard time mimicking for some reason.

Haha that's true. Makes things a lot easier when you have a few tons of scrap. They're hiring a new welder soon so I should get more time to refine my skill. Build build build. They think this stuff is magic and it happens like THAT.
Definitely possible. I gotta ask them if I can take it. If I practice on it, it ultimately goes back in the scrap bin. I'll let ya know what happens.
Tried v up on a pipe today. Went so well I went live and slapped a bead on an actual part. My v up bead is actually thicker than my flat beads on the same pipe.(the small portion on top you can weld flat)

This is 19v 150ipm. Did 6 second test right before. Definitely right settings. Need to work on consistency. What the best way to cap off the very top of the leg? Seems like when I sit there, the pool drips?
