Reply:looks like you need to start filling joints! they are a little easier to stay strait on.start with a fillet, take two pieces and put them like an upside-down "T". weld the piss out of it! hows it look? undercut on top side? slow down and push rod "higher" in the joint and or use less motion. if your machine is set right, you should be able to just drag that rod through the joint and let your travel speed determine your weld size. if you go too slow, you will get a "cold roll" on the bottom where it is obvious that gravity pulled your puddle over itself without fusion.if you don't like your first pass, weld one on the bottom, then again across the top. how do you look now? can you draw a 45 deg. line from bottom to top plate and touch the edge of your welds? keep adding material until you feel like you are wasting your time then grab fresh plates and start again.

Reply:Isn't a flat stringer bead on the planet that really looks GOOD.  They all look high and ropey.  Your beads are fine!!!!!!!!  Edit: BEAD"Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/Anyhow, I gotta go out and put out some round bales.  Wearing my sorta ill fitting jeans, WITH NO BELT OR FLASHY BUCKLE, and a baseball capSo............carry on  the weld looks fine"Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
Reply:Originally Posted by ls1taFrom my experience, these look good. Like previously posted-try going in a straight line definitely. Have you done any v-grooves, or t-joints yet? Or are you still learning how to lay the bead down?Anywho, good luck!
