Reply:Very nice welds. In the 2nd pic, where it shows a tack...how many tacks would you normally put in on something like that before you welded it out?Also, once it was all tacked together, would you then weld all the way around? Or would you make some stops and starts to try to spread the heat/distortion?The heat / distortion issue is kicking my butt lately and I'm trying to pick up as many pointers as I can.
