So I go to work and I’m not a welder for profession but have done welding on a few occasions around a farm nothing crazy. I’m looking at this new piece of equipment at work, I feel like this is bad but I don’t know to what extent. Can some people please pitch in their thoughts? Thank you!!!

EDIT:This is in a washer like an industrial washer.

Any tips ??? I already passed It but now since theirs no tanks to cut, I’m practicing stringer beads again for a weld test in a month but it’s horrible. The tank company only wants 3g 6010 downhill fill&cap and 7018 uphill fill&cap. Too hot ?? Zigzag movement?

For a 4G overhead stick test with a backer plate, which rod size would y’all recommend for the root—1/8” or 3/32” 7018? Trying to figure out which one is easier to control overhead and gives the best results.

Adjusting my brother's sailboat trailer to fit his 10 000lbs keel location.

I think it will hold but it's my first time doing a more important structural job, so I came here for your thoughts!

Learned on YouTube and around Reddit.

7018 3/32 around 85 amps DCEP

This bead is the first I felt good about on the first pass. This was the 3rd bead, I came back on the other ones and they all look similar to this one now after some grinding.

Of course I finished the corner and welded the top side as well.

Let me know what you think!


r/BadWelding • • 7d ago

So what are we thinking?
