> SWEET! you are a very good welder. thanks for the tips. I just finished up a lot of it today. One question though, if they are so much closer together dont you find that the welds are too hot? I researched welds on rollcages on forums and websites I found on google, also google image has a lot of good pictures to compare to. Its too late to redo them anyway, we’ll see how they hold up when I roll it. 😛

Thank you EviltoM. You are a good welder as well. You just need to pull the beads tighter together.

Some, of my welds were a tiny bit on the hot side. Like I said, I rushed through those pieces just to kind of give you a reference.

That being said. The majority of them are perfectly fine. This is how the CWB and TSSA wants to see TIG welds. If they do not look like those one a test plate. You’ll fail the visual instantly. You won’t even have the chance for X-rays, Ultrasounds, or bend tests.

I do not mind sharing advice with people. As long as they take it as advice and don’t attempt to start a pissing match with me.

I know it’s a little late to go and do the welds over again. Although, I don’t think your welds will fail. The material is thin enough and you have enough penetration.

Keep up the good work man. You can only get better from here.  
If you ever need a hand or advice or whatever, don’t hesitate to shoot me a PM.
