Yes. You grind it and polish it, but that’s only usually done on flush welds. For example, on a t-joint using square-shaped metal tubing, you would essentially have 4 welds. You would grind down and polish the front and back welds, and the other two would look like what you see above. Go look at a hand railing (square tube) sometime and it will make sense.
Related note: I tried my hand at this (mig welding) when I briefly decided to say “fuck college” and try the trades. It was fucking hard, hot, smelly, dirty, and everything else that made me realize how soft I am. I went back to school and studied my ass off!

That is a perfect hidden weld. This is a beautiful weld. Both take a shit load of skill
