some of you may know from my other post that the splitter i built last year got stolen last week. well i have started another one. heres some pics so far.
thanks for the compliments guys. it doesnt help that i mig weld 40+ hours a week. but i will be having more fun with this splitter. arc welded the two 6x10x3/8" tubes togeather. 21 rods and 4 passes on each seam later it was done. its taking some time scabing pieces togeather but its geting done.
excellent welds, why scab pieces together are they free/cheap. just asking cause I want to build my own next summer.

Nice puddles, penetration looks good too, grinding the edges like you did shows you understand what you are doing-finding someone who makes quality and pretty welds is not easy to find.
My FIL was a welder who became a welding inspector for the state, where welds were X-rayed for analysis. He told me several times they would have guys come in to their shop over the years who make make the most perfect looking welds. Then he would break them with a sledge hammer and tell the guy sorry you need to learn how to weld. good isnt always pretty and vice versa, for commercial welds both are required.
