Ignorant statement. Go to TX2K10 and see how your generalization stacks up.

Man that is way worse then the first time my dad let me weld when I was 14! Everything on that looks like serious crap. How can you put something into service that looks like that? All your friends would make fun of you.

sweet jesus... the shorter list is what he did right. gotta give him credit though, i know my first attempts were anything but pretty but damn they at least held. that flange was a ticking time bomb, funny how you get what you pay for.

a flux core welder when done right can really turn out some nice welds. Not recommended for heavy stuff, but for exhaust and other thin metal they work quite nicely. But I do like my hobart 220 quite a bit more. This little bracket was done with a flux core welder.

The serious replies in that thread cracked me up. Like the genius that posted this: "good thing you caught that before any shit got down into the turbo." Please notice he said nothing about the weld job or the choice of bullshit parts.

flux core BAD on the thinner metals, 14 gauge to 1/4" on a LE 135.

ps i hate u. i can do decent functional welds that are strong but not pretty yet
