Good to see some progress! Keep it up! And the welds look fine! Sheet metal is dificult.... and that's why they make grinders and flap disks.

@@alanm.4298 thx I do keep trying for sure…. If it holds long enough to put carpet over the top, that’ll work for me!

Keep going Man... only way to get there ;-)

Thx Mike

What gas and what wire are you using? Seems like you’re under currenting your welds to prevent burn through. Thinner wire will allow you to weld thinner metal easier, some gases like argon\co2 mix will help too. And I see some else has also mentioned a heat sink. If you have compressed air, cool the metal down between welds. Residual heat gives you less work time before burn through.

75/25 gas and .024 wire, thx for the tips, I just need to put in more time on it for sure

@@pucman1 sounds like you're set up right and just some more time will help. I did a weekend course at a local technical college 20 something years ago which unlocked a lot of things for me.

Practice makes perfect!

What you are welding is very thin, and trust me there are millions of worse welders :-). Your fabrication is really coming along! A thick chunk of copper backer will help you chase down those holes.

Thx Scott it is frustrating
