really nice weave. I really love the colors that are produced with stainless steel.

I love welding stainless. I am a welder, but we don't do anything pretty like that. All my shit just gets smashed by trains.

Part of my apprenticeship as a mold maker included welding for repairing damaged tools. Now that I'm in a union shop,we can't even look at a welding machine.

I saw that too. That is the work of a true craftsman.

That's some beautiful work. TIG is the ultimate in control. You can basically move at any pace that works for you. Especially if the job requires that kind of appearance. MR.X posted a pic of what looks like maybe a 2" stainless, weld neck flange weld. I knew a guy that could lay a bead like that in carbon steel pipe with a stick welder. I've welded lots of pipe but it never looked like that.

If that isn't machine welded, then the welder is a fookin' artiste!

I had my wifes cousin send that pic to me ,that is his handy work . His shop got the contract because he was working there ,they don't have certified pressure vessel welders except him.

This is a super simple root pass that I have to do when I repair forklift times at work from time to time

Nope. Art is made to be art
