Great effort and really great result!

Congratulations, and thanks for telling the who story in pictures.

(Now, if you only improve a little bit on that exhaust pipe stuff :lol: :lol: :lol: )

You can rest assured, none of those exhaust pipe welds are mine.
I was just giving redrotors a little fooling with.
He thought he was tough stuff. ;)
Just a couple welders and a couple of big hammers and torches.

Excellent job and appears very consistent weave for as wide as that was. Reminds me to sharpen up ony mig skills, I do less and less of that at work.
I weld stainless, stainless and more stainless...Food Industry, sanitary process piping, vessels, whatever is needed, I like to make stuff.

Nice work and a great test! I have had other welders tell me that the widest you can weave is what is called for in that particular WPS you are going off of!!!

I teach my students to practice (a LOT of practice)! both weave and stringers. I have some who will only stick with what they are comfortable with because they are afraid of "looking bad". I would suggest that to anyone: practice both because you never know what the WPS is going to ask you to do!
