3 passes and it looks like it's a tad low so another round of beads should bring it up. What does she look like fellas?

Just a couple welders and a couple of big hammers and torches.

I've wore 7018s and 6011s out with this machine haha. I got em at tractor supply. Hobart 7018ac 5/32 I think that was the size. I ran 150-165 varying with the temp my metal got and how my power kraft was runnin that day.
