I havnt been tiging for that long, I used a sand blaster to really clean it off after words.
I know I have a little bit of undercutting and a shakey hand. Anyway tell me what you think.

thanks

Looks good to me, other than you might want to try a little more heat. But hey, I havn't welded that much either...

 

You say theres some undercut, but I agree with it looks like you need a little more heat. Undercut is caused when you have too much heat, so if you have undercut, then disregard my advice of using more heat. But to me, looks like some spots arent melted in all the way. You got the technique down, the steady hand and consistency will just come with practice...

Welds look ok, might want to try more heat and since you're practicing for a manifold, maybe you should practice on the same thickness that your manifold will be..

 

 

yeah well basically it was to get the tech down for the "going around" issue, thanks guys-

Incorrect (kind of). Undercut can also be caused by incorrect torch angle and lack of filler.

True story. From the thickness of the basemetel I'm going to have to lean in this direction as well.

 

My apologies! HAHA.
