I'm sure we can all understand the nerves. Gets even worse when its not I want this job but I NEED this job.

Yeah, the "test anxiety" goes up exponentially when "need" is more important than "want"...

I've experienced it, and suffered because of it...

Well said Otto, this was kind of a 'need to pass' for a 'want' gig..if that makes sense. Anywho, here are a few pics of the finished root and then the cap. Should have tried to get better shots. I also think they look a bit better in person. Bottom line is, I passed and the nerviness is over...for now.

Congratulations!

Nice root, in particular.

Bend test? Four bends (two root, two face), or six (add two side bends)?

Haha..thx Steve. It's been a while man. You helped me a bit with my 3G welds last year I think...very informative. Actually it was Xray...been thru it already, so i was relieved to have passed.
