Lol why not? No I didn't prep it at all, let alone brake cleaner. Although that is kind of funny.
Looks great Kurt!!!

NIce welding guys!!
I have been thinking about taking classes for this and other fabrication but I do not know where to start.
Also, what kind of careers can this lead into if anyone knows and would they be good paying jobs?? Any input is appreciated !
Not really automotive related. Kinda I guess since it's for a drive way. Anyway, had a customer that wanted an automatic driveway gate and the "fence" that was in place when he bought the house was made out of 4'x8' 16gauge sheet metal. He of course wanted it to match. The framing was done out a 2x2 11 gauge top rail and up rights and a 2x4 11 gauge bottom rail. Then we attached some of the sheet metal. We started calling it the man gate. I wished I would have gotten more pictures, but it was hot out and I was ready to go.

Too little heat, too much wire speed, you need to start the puddle and then start dragging it, if you never start the puddle it will blob like this as well.
Welding heat is at maximum without blowing the breaker. And speed was taken all the way down to 2 . The problem is, I cant even get it to blob up. Its highly irritating
If you're doing cages like that, someone is going to ask to have it TIG'd before long. I have seen it done both ways, and honestly, if you're good with a MIG and get the settings right, I can't really see how the TIG weld could be much better. I understand the tungstun filler is harder, but a full penetration weld is a full penetration weld, right? I do love the way TIG comes out looking with aluminum though.
