#the fact that you cannot tell the seams apart from the base metal post-bending means I did a GREAT JOB

[madameocotillo]

Results of my first bend test at welding school! Used GMAW(mig) for the root & FCAW(flux) for the fills/caps, I *almost* ran out of time (4 hour limit) but DIDN'T, and then all four pieces survived the hydraulic press without so much as a hairline crack!!
