@AugendesAbgrunds Still try to 3 to 4 times a week. If I could just stop hurting myself in the process everything would be grand..

You didn't answer her question... You tack on opposite corners because the metal in the HAZ is expanded, and when that metal cools, it will contract and cause tension and tend to pull. That way you control (and reduce) how the metal will be pulled back.
