Look..
We all understand you are VERY excited by finally getting part of your project going. We all know the feeling of that rush, and being young makes it twice as bad. Even with Pat's fairly hard handed responses, he his correct. Those welds are not good. The material was too dirty and you are not getting enough heat for good penetration.
Noone seriously wants you to quit a project. But they do want you to do it correctly. We want as many Comanche nuts around as long as possible.
