Hey! Pretty good for a first attempt <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Just keep practicing so you are in charge of the 'puddle' and not the other way round. Then cut some weld in half to look at the integrity (especially when you start using argon/CO2) and penetration.

Man I wish I had a welder like that <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" /> I bet that thing IS awesome. I'm seriously green! FYI, if you're going to use fluxcore for a bit (should go to argon/CO2 really as it's so much better and you don't have to worry about power limitations with kind of work you'll be doing) I've had good luck with the Lincoln wire in Lowes. It's literally half the price of the HF junk and runs a ton better <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
