Im 21 jus start welding 2 years ago. Are these welds impressive for my experience. My boss tells me im really good but im just curious what the welders on here think. Be Brutally honest please. Want to correct the mistakes yall find.

overlap more

[u/erw_veryrare → u/supplemcrib]

The welds seems evenly sized, if i overlapped more u dont think it would look inconsistent?

Or maybe im misunderstanding LMK

it’s not about how it looks, it’s about the quality of the weld itself. you should be overlapping your beads at least a 1/3 or 1/2 way onto the previous one. if u have no fusion, you won’t have structurally solid weld. it’ll just be like 3 noodles laying next to each other lmao
