not sure I'm happy about penetration?
5ing
Got good penetration?

weld done

You didn't even knock the slag off!

What'd you expect? He didn't even remove the scale before welding.

Not a chance in hell an engineer laid that bead!
isetprettygirlsonfire
He now! I've been a welder longer than engineer, I can lay beads in my sleep.

Mmmm welding porn
TyAnderson2011
That’s some nice penetration ?

bruh you can't post porn on imugr

Grind off the mill scale before welding, you will get more penetration and a stronger weld.
rubix7
And grind your pull off to get rid of that star crack/fish eye or I would bust this one :)
HelloHogie
Just a piece of scrap so it's no big deal

Welding seems like a fun and satisfying way to make a living. Unfortunately I can't afford classes and nobody around here will pay to train.
riderofthepurplesage
Find a job where welding is done, they will train you. It's mostly practice.
usernamesaregayboy
Thats a pity, and it's also a seriously high paying job of you go high enough in it.
Islapbees
Get a job at a stainless fabrication shop with the agreement that they will train you 5 hours a week on welding/progress to welding. They...
Islapbees
Need all the help they can get trust me.

spot on

From a non-welder, why whenever I see these do people fawn over them? Is that certain pattern difficult to reproduce?

Most of them don't know what they are looking at, it's a trained response. This is just an average well laid hand MIG weld.
georgedragonslayer
Welding isn't easy. Is this particular bead hard? Not really. The hard part is to be able to do this consistently. And not burn yourself..
Fvckya
It's mostly that maintaining an even motion (a repeating series of loops) while moving from one side to the other is not something easy.
3RsReadingRitingRithmatic
Ehhhh, it takes a little practice but it's nothing too crazy. Doing this with tig, or any out of position welding is a little more tough.
aotacon
A steady hand helps, but you're absolutely right - up-hands and overheads are far more challenging to make them pretty like that imho.
SixSixxtySix
Can get a lot more tough depending on the metal.
3RsReadingRitingRithmatic
Fair, but this looks like general carbin steel. So nothing too crazy.
ThankinHank
Steel? Can you do it with a stick? Could be stick? Weld it on the bottom too? You're hired.

Knew a guy who made beads like with no mask and just his hand covering the area
ThankinHank
Fun, easy and risky.
atrielienz
Grandpa, is that you?
SingingMeAndCthulioDownByRlyehFhtagn
No, but that guy was 24 and farm raised. His skill really took off after working at Champion welding weight sets.

I'm so sad that I must weld on galvanized steel. Doomed to be porous but hired to hide it. No nice patterns, only cheap manufacturing.
isetprettygirlsonfire
Oh god I'm sorry, galv sucks. And that isn't just because of the toxic fumes. Hope you have good fresh breathing air!!!
Fvckya
Yeah. Best welder in the shop but all it means are that my dog turd welds are smooth and evenly-sized. I just love breathing zinc, tho!
TheDrunkenWrench
*frantic PAPR noises*
isetprettygirlsonfire
Are there other shops nearby? That allbsounds terrible. And why aren't they welding before galvanizing?
Fvckya
It's pretty easy work and the dangerous gasses mean that I'm both better-paid and secure in my job.

Weld engineer chiming in, that is in fact a weld.

What's engineering day?
stouffer
In the current climate what *isn't* engineering day? Amirite?
DemSumBigAssRidges
The day corporate celebrates not knowing what you do and paying you too little to do it.

Everyday is engineering day
Leonon
The opposite of engifaring day.

It’s an annual day set aside to appreciate engineering and engineering related activities

Where are you located? The company I work for is looking for one.

I'm in CA, Thousand Oaks location. Would prefer to stay away from the LA area, but if there's work, then I'll be there.
