How is the body? Rust costs $$, the rest is easy to fix.

On an engine driven welding machine (Bobcat 250) and in a 10 mph wind.

Been welding since 1996. Have not heard "looks like shit" since that year.

If you have been welding since '96 you should atleast know 7018 needs clean surfaces. You should also know how to mitigate warping plates, like a temporary gusset or running 3/32 or 1/8 rod to lower heat input, or anchoring it to what it is sitting on.

You should also know that same heat destroys the concrete you just welded on. For a dirty pipe and a dirty plate it looks okish. I would rather weld low H rod outside than through dirty shit and call it a cover pass which means your 6010 root looks like garbage, because of that was a structural weld your plate with a 3/4" gap between the bearing surface and your 4" pipe means 7/8s of that bearing structure is useless; shouldve used 2x2x1/8 angle for that much support. It looks like shit. Welds look meh..

I tried to read this. I really did. All I got was “I have technical knowledge. I need to show it and to shit on someone not in the industry I am opining on.” After I figured that out the rest of it lost credibility.

Thats fine. I actually have nothing to show, but that weld is like bragging on picking up one of DirtyD's girls last night. You got some yeah, but it ain't good. I am worried about this guys machine if he welds 5/32 7018 alot on a 250 Bobcat, but then its getting technical.
