First time in the lab at school, first time welding, whatcha think?

admin

First time doing any kind of welding and I'm taking a MIG welding class, today was the first day in the lab and with about 2 minutes of instruction this is what I done in about 20 minutes.  I was doing a cursive e motion, and found out later today was a evaluation day on how we are and the machine was set on pulse? And the proper technique is whip and pause? I think it was a miller mig welder set on 19.5 if that helps you out, I was late for lab because this is my only welding class and everyone else had there safety already done.  I was standing up with my arms unsupported.Sorry for the crappy pictures my phone was in the locker (see my last post   ) and I snapped the pictures quickly.  So how did I do?
