This is my row, I'm #4.
These are practice test pieces. I made them by mig tacking the ends. Sounds easy but for some reason I find it hard to see the end of the mig torch. Yes, its a glowing mall of melting metal but FOR SOME REASON I struggle at holding the torch at the right angle. When do I get the pay off for being left handed and having to do everything in life backwards?
These ones are flat. I will do horizontal as well as flux core.
You have to fill the crevice in line by line. I get a bit of spatter on my first line which is a bit of a problem since it is your most important pass. For the test, you do a piece similar to this and then they bend it with an air compressor machine. If it breaks or cracks you fail and your life is over, but lets not think about this right now.

All welds done yesterday and today were done to The Doors. Thanks for your slow and repetitive tune Jim.
