Yeah... it was a bit excessive... (whistle)

It's been beat to s*** and that traction bar is the least of my worries... HA!

How to bend rod

Came out pretty close to 90* for my first bend, and the WAG method!

My bead on the die, I think it was 1/4" material IIRC

Practicing corner welds with TIG. Need to work on ending the welds. Pretty happy with it since I just picked up the Torch a week ago

Not bad at all!

 

[PrinceValorum]

Very nice! I struggle with ending the bead as well. I'm not sure what the proper procedure is. I'm dying to try TIG though!

With TIG, towards the end of the weld as you start to let off the pedal gradually, bring the torch up onto the filler. As it starts to melt and its about to drop, bring the Torch down and let off the pedal. It's tricky
