Looks good. No offense,but that thicker material is a lot easier to weld than the stuff I work with. I have to fix minor nicks and damaged corners in molds. It requires a very fine/cold weld technique. Sometimes we use a microwelder. Instead or rods,its a .007 ribbon filler or a powder.

Nice welds, I wish I could have got into some thing like that, took four years of metal shop in High School, we had Mig, Tig, Stick, Gas, and spot welders, along with a foundry area, lathes and a milling machine and a full sheet metal area, damn i miss metal shop, LOL!!!!

Lookin good bro. You do alot of stainless? I had to learn the hard way at work, old school crap, no foot pedal, just a powered up torch with a knob for the gas. It is challenging that's why I like it. I also have to do alot of stainless stick, real pita. The arc sometimes chooses to leave the joint and go to one or the other piece. Stainless rod has to be hot when you start and can be a real mess on verticals. I got a long way to go before I can say I'm good at tig.

I'd like to try a tig. One at the shop, but it's automatic. Welds in a straight line. Just got to cut the strip, butt it together and push a button.
Stick and mig is the only thing I have welded with. Unless ya count a torch and a coat hanger. That's almost like brazing.
Never went to school. Just had to learn.
Just bought a small 220 Lincoln welder. That was different from what I was used to.
Don't care much for the shielded wire. I can do ok with it. Works better on heavier metal. Won't be welding more than 1/4". Mostly 14 or 16 ga. Some sheet occasionally. I'm gonna set it up on co2 as soon as can get the extra bucks.
Good luck. Hope ya get the job at the fab shop like ya want.
Nice looking welds.
