I was listening to a podcast the other day. They had a man named Bill Newell on, and he was absolutely death on walking the cup. Something about lack of fusion between passes, from sharpening the tungsten down to a needle and tipping the torch way back. I can kind of see what he’s talking about, but I thought it was sort of extreme. Curious about your thoughts and experience.

Check out the CMR Fabrications Eco Scoop. I think they’re about a hundred bucks with a pretty decent lens.

I wasn’t sure if practice was allowed, so this is pretty raw lol. If I redid it, I would clean the edges better so it didn’t suck stuff into the puddle, and probably turn my gas up a little.

The coupon is 2x8, not sure on the alloy.

I’m pretty sure there’s a couple videos on here from Johannes about it.

Interesting stuff. I’ve read some of this in Metals And How To Weld Them, but the way you explained was a lil easier for this dummy to understand. Thanks.

Some of that is common sense, I think. He said in the previous video that he was going to use an 1/8” bit. And if the metals thick enough to groove, go ahead and groove it.

Sure glad these calls are a thing. I always enjoy them. Lotta times I don’t have time in the evenings to get in on the whole thing, so I’m glad these recordings get posted as well. And nobody minds a little story that’s off topic either lol. Keep up the good work.
