looks solid to me.  i always try to weld aluminum hot and fast with lots of filler dipping to keep the pool from melting away too quickly.

I always love seeing the new things walter works on.  Its like watching a child grow up.  Speaking metaphorically of course.  :noel:

Looks proper as fuck.   Wish i could do half as good.  I just melt alot of shit and get no penetration at all....

EDIT:  Is this your cdm machine or something baller?

Making good progress! Looks like you might have some tungsten standoff problems, but that just takes practice to overcome. Nothing is going to beat just doing it.
