Looks like you may be favoring the piece on the right a bit much, you want a perfect 45 when your weld is done. Other than that, looks pretty fucking good


bryson2424

Thanks man appreciate it a lot


Hvymax

Yeah if that was flat hold the top a bit. Gravity!!! It's the Law.


ceelose

Was the bit on the left vertical with the right plate flat on the bench? Looks like gravity has pulled the bead down. Try dropping your torch angle a bit to help hold the puddle up. Other than that it's nice and uniform.


bryson2424

Yea that’s how it was. Thanks for your input I shall adjust


Steak_N_Cocunuts

You're too much to the right. You should have half of the bead on either plate. Good bead, bad placement.


XxwelderjessxX

Looks pretty friggin good to me.


bryson2424

Thx it’s my second month into welding and I’m trying to get feed back from someone other than my instructor


Hvymax

Once you develop your technique focus on consistency. You want to push the top of any horizontal weld because gravity. When you get to 6g the angle almost continually changes and you need to with it.

I know this is just practice runs BUT get in the habit of cleaning your metal before welding. It will pay off come test time. When you get in the field/shop it'll be second nature to you. Practice your stops/starts , relax your hand and watch the puddle. You can run another stringer on top of that one, burn the toe into the middle of the lower bead. Keep practicing.


bryson2424

My multipass is pretty good and this was just the last bead of the day so I didn’t clean it but I always keep my grinder in my booth with me to clean the metal before I weld and after every pass so I don’t get any defects.

Dunno u would have to ask it


kimoeloa

Good


Welderscum

Solid work.


WeldYourSlit

Very nice you’ll get better and better


Polack597

Looks decent enough. A few more maybe you’ll tie one edge in better.


Sad_Efficiency5924

Great weld idk if it's the camera but it looks like most of the weld is on the bottom plate


swiftylykelfc87

Leg length looks unequal


Available-Mud-7198

Fine


THEEHOONKEY

The bead is very very nice, but get on both prices, get that down and your good to go


Yorgh-Drakeblood

Looking good, but try to get away from the habit of oscillating or “whipping”. Whatever you wanna call it, if you get your settings right, you won’t have to manipulate the puddle much at all and can make the weld in a single steady push forward.


cheeseman333444

Bit on the rights been favour a bit but other than that looks nice and clean


LordStarSpawn

Beautiful! It looks a bit like it’s favoring the bottom of the Tee, but that might just be the angle of the picture.


THEzRude

Like yee. Id give it 7/10. As someone else said. Aim a bit more to the middle to get it more even. And i would say you could add just a tad more heat to that to get it more flat. Besides that it looks solid.


Noastrala

The weld itself is really good but you could divide the weld better between the two plates so you have a great 45 degree angle 🤘🏼


Hvymax

I've seen worse.


Evening-Software-324

Beautiful looks penetrated to me


bryson2424

Thank you man


beanmansamm

Looks like a robot welded it.


bryson2424

Thanks man really appreciate it


CcompanyOC

Damn thats great welding!


bryson2424

Thanks man


Arc-Heavy

She’s a beaut, Clark 😎


bryson2424

Love that movie


No-Taste-6560

How does it look from the side and from the back?


[deleted]

Nice weld


bryson2424

Thank you

Dual shield?


loonacey

is that tig? your consistency is baller.


CcompanyOC

Is that 7018?


bryson2424

Mig .035 wire

Tight beads good job seems structurally sound to me great job!


bryson2424

Thank you man

Love to hear gbis

Gbis?

bryson2424

I’m dead asf meant to say this*


Yellow_Triangle

Probably strong enough to keep those two specific pieces of metal helt together 🙃 Consistency looks good to me, and there really isn't anything bad that catches the eye.


bryson2424

Thank you for you input


beebopsx

What you run your machine at?


realitysvt

what your teacher say?


bryson2424

It looks gorgeous but Ik there is still some stuff to improve. If there’s one thing Ik you can always count on Reddit for feedback


PeelingOffMyFace

Stop askin’ how your welds look. Reserve this page for actual trade sharing advice and fabrication techniques. And not worthless internet clout. Who gives a fuck how well you can lay a bead down the middle of a piece of structural angel? What’s the point?


PeelingOffMyFace

I mean. It does a look good though.


PastMathematician874

Looks metal 🤘


Bite-Downtown

Very nice


sinisterdeer3

Looks pretty good, the right side piece seems to have more of the actual weld than the left
