I hear ya bro, when I was going through A and P school welding was one thing I hated. Some people can pick it up and do it with little training and others cant do a great job no matter how much they practice.

i think im doing alright considering its my second day...i guess. but each of those two sheets have two shitty ass beads that are right next to the ones in the middle. i was too dumb to realize "hey its not working right, i should stop"

At the WELDONG INSTITUTE we will teach you the bestest way!

my best advice, practice making puddles as long as you can before you even pick up a rod. Better yet: Learn OA welding first!

My dog can make puddles, but she can't weld a lick.
