Reply:Looks good, but there's still quite a few spots inside with no penetration.  May not be a big issue in this case, but in other situations it could be. Nice work, keep posting the pics!Craig MontgomeryM&L Fabrication, LLChttps://www.facebook.com/pages/ML-Fa...8228829?ref=hl

Reply:That stuff looks killer.  Are you welding 1" sections at a time to minimize the heat soak?
