I’m feeling the itch hop to it and start the grind on the Jeep projects. Yesterday I practiced my welding a bit. I think I’ll practice some more today. And maybe start some other projects. I started welding with the bad habit of looping and backfilling my welds to give the stacked dime appearance. Blaine set me straight a while ago but I haven’t had the chance to practice much. I’m still not as comfortable with my puddle control doing straight pulls. Limiting lateral motion to 1/16” from the root. Here is about where I’m at

Aiming to get it a little hotter. Hopefully will post up some practice welds today. At the very least, I tested some of my scrap practice welds with a sledge in the vice and the metal would always bend and give somewhere other than my weld joint. So that’s good news!
