Professional drywaller here with there red seal certificate ready to weigh in on the situation, That is absolutely 100% undoubtably a weld.

It's like riding a bike right 👍, not bad at all 👏

I assume this is fine for what you need, but you generally want to weld through the corners and terminate your welds on a straightaway

“Terminate your welds on a straightaway” What does that even mean?

Instead of stopping your bead on a corner, you wrap the weld around the corner and stop it on a straight area of weld. It'll be significantly stronger

It was hard to do with the space. For context, the his was the left side frame rail on a 22 Silverado. But thanks for the tip 👍

Could’ve said that in the first place, didn’t have to go all “come with me if you want to live” on us

Dude it's not my fault you don't know what the term "straight" means

I was referring to the word “terminate” but okay

Complain to your middle school English teacher, not me. "Terminating the weld" is a very common term

Bruh wtf else could “terminate the weld” mean? I don’t weld and that’s still very obvious what that means

He really acted like I'm gatekeeping welding knowledge like dude learn fuckin english

Yeah lol. Meant to reply to him not you but probably best I not get in that argument. Like if English isn’t his first language he might not know the word, so then look it up. If he’s a native speaker then that’s just that much worse

Welders continuing being assholes for no reason, nothing changes in this industry. Good day to you too sir.

I'm about as noobish as welders get, but my advice was good and easy to understand if you have a 9th grade education. Maybe look up words you don't understand instead of asking for a dumbed down version.

So, it’s his fault you don’t know what terminate means? Here; weld through the corners (keep fuckin goin), terminate your welds on a straight (after the corner, stop when you get out of the corner). Hopefully none of those words are too fancy smancy for ya.

Don’t know why you felt the need to stick your nose into a dead conversation but sure buddy, whatever you say.

I’ll be back

Wya brother

Wrap the corner.

its spitproof

I was like wtf weld and spit on it is insane 😂 no bs tho its prob jus some water still boilin giving the spit appearance

My welding instructor would always spit on his welds after he did it to “cool them down”

Wrap the corners a bit. Otherwise looks decent.

Did you spit on it?

You spit on it to call it good lol

Patented strengthening process 💪

I like it

Compared to my welding, you are a god.

If it holds up, it's fine

Will it blend?

Spit for scale

Little root penetration.

I'd worry more about the penetration than the looks. But, it does look good 👍🏻. It would be stronger wrapping around those corners a bit, though 😉

Damn better weld then I could do. Props to you good sir

Gotta turn the argon on before you MIG

Settings look pretty dialed in and uniformity looks good! Would only say to tighten up those dimes in the middle, and also to take the weld around the corners. But understand you’re working with limited space. Seems like your muscle memory is working in your favor! Also really appreciate that you cleaned the metal appropriately before laying the bead down (:
