X2 on that, never new I could hate such a pretty weld lol, Try some 6010 and see the difference in work it takes to get an as pretty bead lol I hate stick. I'm also in an intro to welding class(been welding for years) I needed a extra credit hour so I figured I can use all there equipment to make bumpers for the jeep and its free lol. We're working with TIG now, haven't done that in about 2 years I'll post up some pics later

We started with 6011 and it took a quite of bit of practice to get a nice bead, especially since we need to stop half way, restart and backstep for the assignment. So I've had a lot of work to get halfway decent. I think we use Miller multimatics, their huge, and can TIG, MIG, and SMAW. stick welding is so tedious and fussy I've learned

Can you judge this weld? Its been a while since I've welded and the welder I have is iffy. Its flux core. A peice of angle iron welded on some pipe. It was just scrap I had laying around. Sorry, My phone takes terrible pictures and any advice is apprietiated. A buddy gave me the welder for free At the end of it my welded started to act up so I quit.
