First beads with Squarewave 175

admin

Here are a few of my first beads with my new machine.   No, that's not undercut, I didn't get the paint cleaned of very well towards the top and that's just burnt paint and shadow I believe.Lean mean TIG weldin' machineSquarewave 175

Reply:Yeah, I did. I got the camera right up on the welds to take the pictures is that makes it easier for you to imagine. Here is what the welds are from. If you were asking about the filler for pointers, or criticisms, elaborate some, i'm open for giving/recieving advice. Lean mean TIG weldin' machineSquarewave 175

Reply:He's probably retired by now I think he went from day-time instructor to a position in the administration level. This has been a few years ago.Still lookin for Rock!
Reply:Yeah I think that is him. I believe the guy teaches the PM classes and is one of the high ranking guys, gets us lotsa good equipment . The guy i'm reffering to has a full beard, brown hair, etc. Of course if you havn't seen him in a year or more, that could make that irrelevent!Lean mean TIG weldin' machineSquarewave 175
