why, Steve, did you not weld it with a 6011 rod downhill with a buzz-box
Seems like it would work better :? :?
Just a couple welders and a couple of big hammers and torches.

Men in dirty jeans built this country, while men in clean suits have destroyed it.

Yeah, no doubt. Or 6010 (no buzz-box for the field work-- Miller Bobcats, and no local power to run a buzz-box on. This was before the days of inverters.

However, I didn't have the option. I used what they provided, and had to learn to deal with it. Years later I realized they didn't know any better (backwoods redneck outfit), but the education was worth the headache. The next time I had a job using 7018, on 1/4" material, it was easy by comparison.
