tig and stick practice

admin

practice welds done today. the tig welds are on 316 ss 3/32 red tip tungsten and 3/32 filler @ 130 amps max, when i cleaned the off with a wire wheel to take the pictures they kind of flattened out, maybe they were too hot? the stick welding was done with 6010 and 6013 rods both 3/32 @ 95-110 amps. the slag from the 6013 actually peeled off by itself. sorry if the pictures are crappy but i am new to the forum worldthe tig welding was my second time using a foot pedal Attached Images good welder but getting better
Reply:why hasn't anyone critiqued my welds? is it because of the crappy pictures and if so can someone tell me how to post better pictures. the pictures i took are good quality but i had to resize them to be able to post. good welder but getting better
Reply:Looks good to me, I'm still trying to get the hand of striking the arc with the Stick welder I nabbed-when I mess with it, what's the metal thickness on those pieces?
Reply:The pics are rather small..But the tig looks ok from what I can see..How thick is the material??...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:Two reason perhaps ...1.     Pictures are pretty small (hard to see any real detail).2.     Regardless of how hard anyone of us seem to be at times, none of us        like to hurt feelings or bruise egos. You really should say "what do        you think" or "critique my welds please"Than you are Guaranteed to hear all you want to and maybe a little bit you wish you had not.Oh ..and what I can see looks good from here.Washman

Reply:Open your pic in Paint.  Find "strech scew" option.  Make it bigger or smaller by %.  That is what I do.  Save it as a Jpeg.DavidReal world weldin.  When I grow up I want to be a tig weldor.
