Question for pipe welders.

Did the best bottom half of the pipe yet. Thanks to the advice from a pipe welder in southern Texas, over on Welding Web! :cool2::cool2::cool2::cool2:

That is looking very good. When the bead and cap gets so smooth that you have to tack weld it to keep it from sliding off the pipe, THEN you have mastered the process.
