Reply:Burnit, try using a tripod...it works wonders.  Either that, or use flash. You will have no luck with no flash and no tripod, at least in my experience.I'm 21 and learningAvid 4wd enthusiastASE Master tech (Automotive), mechanic/fabricator by trade
Reply:Macro setting..You don't get a flash but with a steady camera and the right lighting  ....Thats what I use 90% of the time.....zap!I am not completely insane..Some parts are missing Professional Driver on a closed course....Do not attempt.Just because I'm a  dumbass don't mean that you can be too.So DON'T try any of this **** l do at home.

Reply:Nice looking job there Propulsion!super critical review follows:slight undercut in pic #1, left corner as you went around the corner of the piece.  Also, weld looks a little flat, could use a little more filler to get the bead slightly convex.  Especially when you turned the corner, that bead area looks concave.In pic #3, as you went around from the inside of the channel to the outside on the right leg, you did a stop/start right on the corner and you also didn't wrap the two welds over one another all the way.  Roll the beads and starts/stops past the corners.  There is usually enough going on at corners without adding any additional stress risers from starts/stops.But man, you had a rhythm going on there!  Nice tight consistent ripples.
Reply:You know, I really think those pics fall under the category of too nice to criticize!  You obviously know what you are doing to weld that consistently...So, I'm also wondering if you were using a pulse at a pretty high frequency.  That would be my guess...
Reply:nice burning dude, gotta love tigging!!! so clean!
Reply:No pulse, no welding positioners, just thru it on the table and welded it out in the open. To be honest, I really do not care for heaver welding on thick plate like in my pic, as I have to wear those awful heavy mid evil gloves.David R, Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.Last edited by Propulsion; 01-20-2008 at 11:27 AM.
