Welding

I never used to be very good at welding. But after hours of practice . . . I'm still not very good. It is thin wall galv steel and I can't seem to get it quite right. Removing the galv helps but I'm still trying to get the feed and power just right. My welds are strong enough, but not very neat. The term chicken sh*t comes to mind! Good thing no one will see them.

I have been using a gasless wire on a MIG welder. It also comes with gas and another spool so I might give that a go and see if it's better. Other than that, practice!
