Reply:hard to really see what you've got there.  Would be better if you had just straight lines instead of the "lattice work" that you have there.  I'm not a pro by any means, but it looks like you've got a lot of build up and not so much penetration.  What heat and speed are you running???

Reply:Looks awfully humped up from what I can see.The difference between art and craft is the quality of the workmanship. I am an artist.
Reply:What thickness material???  Again, I'm not a pro, but it looks like it needs more heat and/or less wire speed... but I would ask the pros around here...
Reply:I would say about 12 gauge steel.  I made the beads wide like that on purpose, it was flowing well.I'm 21 and learningAvid 4wd enthusiastASE Master tech (Automotive), mechanic/fabricator by trade
