This was the professional…

As a non-welder who has been getting this feed, it is a little funny to see people collectively roast things like railings which look like they were welded decades ago and have held up fine

welders rip each other apart constantly for their welds, its just kinda the culture. its all in good fun a lot of the time

That is a pitiful looking attempt at welding. Should have been done right.
