As promised here are some pics. I practiced two short welds on my scrap cut off piece I know I'm a crappy welder but it doesnt like bad for me lol made 2 spot welds about an inch apart and welded to the spot weld I did that twice. I didnt want to go all the way around yet because I bought some new wire I want to practice with too. Its Lincoln. 035 wire right now I'm running blue devil .030 i bought it from Amazon and so far I'm not impressed with it at all the elcheapo stuff that harbor freight sent with the welder laid a much better bead imo. The welds in the pics are not cleaned up in any way I laid them down and took a picture they are still smoking lol.
