Reply:I agree.  I love to look at the pictures everyone posts on here.  They give me a lot of idea and help me understand how to design and fabricate things.  Im gonna try and pick up some more wire and scrap metal to lay a few beads for everyone to critique tomorrow.

Reply:I'm liking the welds. Did you use a whip and pause type of tecnique on your torch? I've always kind of wondered how to get the bead to have further apart stacks like that, mine always look similar to a precise mig bead or something. The weird lighting makes the photos look like brochure photos or somethin, pretty cool actually, haha. Almost forgot, i wear safety glasses any time i use a tool that involves things that fly. THe ones with the sides give a little more piece of mind too! Getting metal drilled out of my eye just doesn't sound fun to me.Lean mean TIG weldin' machineSquarewave 175
