That is awesome! I have the same machine and even the welds look the same! Very nice

Here's some off the record pics: The first 2 are spray arc, my favorite thick steel welding process.

just trying out some 7014 (top bead) and 6013 (bottom). and yea, i know theres some porosity at the end of the bottom weld. Both rods were 3/32, running 80-90 amps.

I've worked in a welding shop for a couple days (literally) and the best thing that I've learned is take your time and keep the metal clean. Rushing welds doesn't get any1 anywhere. My boss is the best welder in the area and he's super critical about welds. The welds I thought were good are shitty to him. Take your time and think about it. Have fun too!
