Reply:What size pipe?  What settings?  Position? Looks like a good start. Looks like you have a couple high spots on the side. Less time on center will keep it from sagging. I'd say do it another hundred times for practice and confidence Regards,RobGreat Basin WeldingInstagramBlue weldersRed weldersMy luscious Table DIY TIG Torch cooler

Reply:It was gouged out and ugly so I cleaned it up and put caps on it filled where it was gouged and eventually made it look like thisSent from my XT907 using Tapatalk
Reply:It looks a bit undercut on the socket side but the beads look nice and consistent.

Reply:I posted some pics up on my own thread. Not my greatest work but still some of the crap i have had to do.
Reply:Looks a little under cut but not to bad for a first go at it. Not sure what your procedure is but we are required to stack the beads from the pipe. Up on the socket not from the socket or the larger diameter down
Reply:Yeah I would of done that but I had to cover bad undercut and a sloppy weave bead and some other stuff that was under itSent from my XT907 using Tapatalk
