Default Newb welder mig project... welding cart

Got inspired by another thread... This is a great first project, can't wait to have nice looking welds.









Please critique... Any help I can get







Still needs a few things. Not sure if I want to powder coat or just paint.
I'll post pics of more progress tomorrow.

Looks good, I know you wanted practice but when you welded that sheet to the frame, you could stitch weld it about 1" every few inches to save yourself some time instead of welding it completely.

Yeah, I definately wanted to weld every part I can on this project. I'm hundry for practice right now... Thanks for the tip! I'll probably use that method for the welding table (next project). Maybe

Ahh yes those kettlebells are great! I'm hooked on power training... Forget trying to get huge, I wanna walk around feelin like I can just eat rocks and throw people... good ****

How do I tell if wire speed was too high or just moving my hand too slow?
Not sure what you mean by too close together?
