nothing special but i had these pics so i figured id post them

yeah ive got about 1hr of welding under my belt and my rig is the usual wire-fed mig jobber

i had to mate a 2" pipe to this 2.5" piece so i just filled it with nuts/bolts/some weld.

look how sexy it is

ill probably add a small layer of jbweld just to be safe. yes i had to make sure at least one piece of my setup was gnarly as ---- and here it is.

there is a point where you just being ghetto and dumb because there are about 5 better ways to fill a gap like that that also cost zero dollars

Lol, yea usually when I need to fill gaps like that i use the scraps from pieces of piping that i've already cut from prior fabrications. Guess your method works too, some might call it art?

When I need to fill gaps I fill them with just weld. weld a little, let it cool, weld a little more to the edge, let it cool, ect ect.

It only works on stuff so big though.

Or cut tabs in the end, bend down, fill a minimal gap, done.
