Help Welding a Welder Cart

[EdK]

Rick,

To hell with niceties, I prefer brutal honesty for something like this.

Thanks for all of the comments. I think the problem was the shielding gas wasn't doing its job, I'm sure because of something I did wrong. The wire I used was brand new Hobart virgin package that was not rusty. I really don't think the liner is contaminated because I used new, clean wire when I did those practice welds a year ago. I'm going to forget those pictures and start over with the help of you guys. By the way, the steel used in those practice pictures was either 13 or 14 gauge sheet metal. I'll be starting with 1/8" steel this time around.
