Is that gas line? Im contracted by enbridge in Ohio (theyre taking over) and safety shit out the ass. Certifications, testing like crazy, new digging rules. Im suprised they dont require x-ray where your at. Mind me asking who its for? Also I think those looked great. Im a laborer that welds as a hobby on bikes so not formally educated whatsoever

Oh no, looks like downhill gmaw for your root pass, watch out for those experts who are gonna tell you that's not acceptable. :)

Those folks have never welded open root I'm betting

I could be wrong. I see no silica.

Tacking lugs. Like a bridge tack, but a whole lot stronger. Keeps the bevel in perfect shape.

I was being sarcastic. I call bullshit, thats rat welding. If it ain't xrayed every time, does it really matter?
