Much much better on the bars! Very clean...

Have you tried different metals yet such as high grade 316L stainless steel?

Don't think my welder can do stainless, i'm on the lookout for a second hand gas mig.

If anyone wants a Sealey Professional 230V 100A No-Gas Mig Welder let me know.

£45 delivered. Will throw in some gassless migwire. Bought it over a year ago but only unboxed it a few weeks ago. You can see it welding in video above.

Still welding... wont have any material left to build anything soon.

Getting a little better.

Looking good.

And if your welds look really sh*t just take the grinder to it.

And remove all the strength in the weld 

You can grind welds but you need to "V out" the welding area first. ( having watched guys on youtube engineering channels)

I did v out on the thicker stuff for the window bars.

These were not butted up as when i set it square my cuts were off.  The weld has penetrated through the metal to the other side should be fine for a printer table.

Backing the chop saw i bought and getting a femi bandsaw.

Did a little practicing on some thicker stuff today.

Cant seem to make the end of the weld pretty.
