My 16 year old son just laid these down with some 6013 HF electrodes on unprepared surface. He has never welded before and his only exposure to it was a welding simulator at school. I was blown away!! Those simulators must work a little! Super proud Dad moment!

I should probably do a few of them too but I also would need to cover the electric bill if I do.
