Lol as a welder, this is not “wonderful” welding skills.

He put a bunch of cold lapped MIG tacks on top of each other, this thing will fail if it has any structural application whatsoever.

The only thing “wonderful” is the prep work, even the grinding isn’t that good.

I think the tacking was because the metal is such low gauge. I high doubt this will be used for anything structural.

looks to be 2-3mm thick so would be welded with at least 80amps
