One more picture showing it extended, once it's powder coated I'll post finished pics

 

Newbie welder here. I just picked up a Hobart Handler 140 and these are my beads after about an hour of messing around using flux core wire, I don’t have a gas bottle yet. Any pointers/resources would be greatly appreciated!

 

I have the same welder and still using flux, need to get some gas so I can switch to MIG.

Cut some pieces and then weld them together, then get a big hammer and try and break the welds.
