3" sch 10 304 stainless. Kind of shaky - but was a field weld with 20' legs on each side and couldnt be rolled so not bad for just learning to pipe weld only days before this picture was taken.

Its been a while since I have welded, but these are the last things I did.

I don't have a very steady hand. I did these with a miller Econo Tig, and the stainless is at the very bottom of the scale of thickness. Basically the minimum amount of amperage possible.

On the aluminum, I was using orange tungsten ground to point...seems to work OK even on a transformer machine.

I feel like some people just have the "gift" for making nice welds... Sure everyone can make some good looking ones, but not everyone can have perfect ones all the time. One of my buddies that mig welds all day everyday, made better looking tig's on his very first attempt, than I ever have... He's got the gift, I don't

A trick I used way back with an Econo Tig was to ground through a bit of welding rod to add resistance. Always bugged me the current adjustment didn't go down low enough.
 
Needed a tougher test for some welders at work. We decided on a circular weld and needed a way to do make circular coupons. I came up with this to use in our hydraulic press.

For the lower 3 welds (straight pieces) it was 1/16" wire and for the rest it was thinner wire not too sure what diameter exactly. #6 cup 1/16" cerium on an air cooled 17 monster torch. Machine is a miller syncrowave 250dx baseline ( cheap school). I will be practicing more tomorrow with better pics. I think I progressed pretty far for only welding 3 months 1-2 times a week :idontknow:
 
It's been a while since I last posted a picture but here's some anodized aluminum sch40 pipe for some tuna towers gas coverage wasn't perfect on this one but it'll do.

Wow yours looks better than mine. I've only welded like 3 or 4 times, and this was my first real world weld. Not just welding on a half inch thich piece of steel for shits and gigs. Its better than some muffler shops I've seen, which is kind of pathetic.

What do you guys think?
 
Nope its a cheap hobart wire welder. It's pretty nice actually for what it is though.
What's in the picture is a exhaust reducer you can get from autozone, I used it to put a flowmaster on my car until I can save up to get a real exhaust :p. Haha.
