You're going to feel pretty bad when Puff posts pics of his practice welds that look better :P

 

Very nice BCB

Unlikely when I've had all of 4 hours practice on aluminium :tonguepoke:

 

Here's a few runs I just did on an old ali pipe

Nice! How'd you stop it pulling over? Can't see any tack spots?

Small quick tacks on the side that is welded second and weld over them
No tacks on the side that is welded first
Can't guarantee straight, so we have a jig for straightening after welding

Was only stirring you and BCB ;)

 

I'd probably weld my thumb to the sheet if I tried :P

Believe me I was welding my dick to the bench a few days ago. I burnt my arm on the filler rod, stabbed the red hot tungsten through my work pants into my leg and heat the fark out of my fingers through the gloves regularly.

 

I need a welding bench cos the current (no pun intended) one is wooden. All will happen in time, there's no shortcuts to practice.
