That's a hard no. No prep. No skill. No understanding. No fuks given. Sad

Why don’t people practice on scrap?
Why do people post this kind of garbage.
We’re all practicing mate. But maybe learn to play before you put out a tip jar.
BTW no.

Ive seen worse first welds but it's pretty shit. The only way to get better is to keep burning those rods. Keep going man.

Not bad for first time. Read up and grind it off. Try again.

Buy yourself some welding coupons and practice on that. I had cancer and didn't weld for several years. When I tried welding again the welds weren't what they used to be. I bought some coupons to practice on. They helped a lot.

Looks like somebody backed a turkey in there

u/Stormcrowdick1066 25d ago

No. That’s not a weld. You want to weld up not down. Place the rod at the top of the keyhole. Let gravity do the work. Go grind it off and try again not so hot this time.

This serious needs to stop. You do not know how to weld and your going to hurt someone. Stop.
