Talking with them did not go as planned. Arguably it went better.

Now I own a welder than can do MIG and flux core. And I spent the night laying down a few boogers. My only experience with welding is doing some acetylene welding back in college. That's a little bit different than what I'm doing now. I'm going to keep practicing until I can get consistent. Then I will try to repair and reinforce my z-bar.

Feel free to make fun of my welds. I feel like I'm just starting to get the hang of the machine settings, but I still need to work on steadying myself. I'm practicing on some leftover 1/8" flat bar that I used to make my coolant reservoir.
