From http://www.kevincaron.com - Artist Kevin Caron is fixing low spots and joints on a bell stand. He shares how to deal with porosity and other flaws as he welds, grinds and rewelds the steel piece.
Thank you. It has been a wonderful learning experience teaching myself to weld and shape metal. The added bonus of making things that give people pleasure is just the gravy.
I like the way that you make welding a part of what you do and not the end in its self. The project becomes the object of interest and the welding is a way to get there.
Take 20 lbs of metal, add 10 lbs of welding wire. Sand off 6 lbs to find the mistakes and add more wire as necessary.
Or from the auto restoration folks... Bondo and paint makes it what it an't!
