Re: Show off your welds!
As it turns out, yep, I was welding up a closed tube, and I guess it was getting hot enough to where it was melting through, then blowing out. I can't believe I forgot about that. I've drilled a little hole every previous year. I just wasn't thinking.

Anyhow, I do like those new purple tungstens. Ran a couple practice beads just for fun.

Anyone else do welding. We need more pics in this thread.
