Rate my welds - finally got the other 3 pics online...

I had to make some brackets yesterday to put these old Subaru seats in my buddy's XR4Ti (aspiring rally beater.) Turned out some decent beads with ye olde Campbell Hausfield fluxcore 80... I got one pic:

EDIT: Got a couple more pics, but they weren't uploading for me earlier... got 'em tonight.

Seems like when I'm pushing the bead away from the edge, I get more of a burn-through on the edge than dragging it toward. D'oh! Either way, I think the brackets will be strong enough.

Pretty decent for a fluxcore, not?

One of the nicest fluxcores I've seen.
