What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

This was a fun little project to use up some shop scraps. One of the rare times it's safe to use my little 115v flux core mig machine :?

Looks just fine, and beautiful kids too!

It never hurts to clean the material even though you're using Flux Core. It improves the penetration ;)

Thanks CJ! I'm on a mission to identify and kick my bad habits (like not cleaning, bad rod angle, and others I'm probably not even aware of), so I appreciate the tip.

Right? All his little brain does is come up with things to make.

Actually, that's not true... his little brain also comes up with stuff for ME to make :lol:

Thanks, Bill! You're not kidding - they're growing like weeds. It's hard to keep up :shock:
