Looks like it's getting there, nice work. What thickness aluminum are your mounts going to be? Welding thicker aluminum requires a ton of heat!

They will be same size as the steel ones (1/4"). Since the welding is for a non load bearing piece, I wont need full penetration. Either way, I am striving for a perfecr weld and will be pre-heating with the oxy-ace torch

I have a long way to go on this but have spent quite a bit of time practicing. Do you run the welder in pulse mode?
I need to get the timing better of moving the puddle forward and dipping the rod.

Ive played with the pulse but these pictures are straight pedal. Pulse mode requires a good rythem which I havent got down yet.
