Some of my tig welding

Re: Some of my tig welding
picture is fine enough to see what needs to be seen.
AKA those welds are so bad he wants to know if the rest of the cage is welded like that. Also if you like your cousin or hate him like a rabid crab infection.
I aint bashing, but when it comes to a safety item. Holy crap. Tigging aint like using a sharpie man. That ---- needs to be tossed.
IDK how thick that pipe is, but that can't possibly be even 1/2 strength at any point based on the poor electrode angles and massive undercut & underfill.
And your pattern is spaced too far apart. That wouldn't be a "hey your weld test instantly failed" problem - if it was filled correctly and the sides weren't cut in & washed down so bad. The way it is, that causes a weak point to be even weaker!
