Howdy,

I tried my hand at square tube today. I've been practicing with straight beads and t joints since I got my welder about 3 weeks ago. This is 1 3/4 .090 wall tube. I was dialing the settings as I went and I think I found the sweet spot by the time I did the fillet joint. The other one was still a bit cold I think. Please comment, all criticism is welcome :)

Yep slow it down some and point your angle just a little more down on the bottom piece.
