This makes me want to try again, that was like 2 years ago. My welder looks like yours but is from sears.

Your welds will get better.
If you used a MIG instead of just a core welder i'm sure they would look nicer but it takes a lot of practice.... |

looking at your second attempt and from hearing about the holes, I'd say you need to turn up your wire speed and/or turn down your current.
I made a downpipe out of that coated stuff and just grinded it lightly before welding without gas and my welds turned out alot better than I expected. I really don't want to crawl under my to take a pic to prove it tho. It was my second week with a wire feed and I was real proud of myself. I was using this cheap wire and I was surprised at how fast I had to turn up the speed, the beads are fat, other wise they look good, solid. Neil |
