I have learn the slow but pleasant way for the last 12 years, and from a cart for my welder to fixing a few pieces, and building a useful trailer from almost scratch.
Although my knowledge of welding techniques is incomplete i assumed I had enough confidence for another unique project yet simple project.
I have an outside boiler made of 1/4" boiler plating now 8 years of use, it has developed a leak at the door structure and I thought it would be a simple welding challenge.
But after a few pass at trying to seal this weak point but it has been a dreadful detail I don't grasp about why the welding will not blend into the door cage portion and not fully seal this corner of the boiler.
This final weld looks ok ( kind of ) but is leaks because the base ( door cage ) will not bind to the base part, I cannot get a good melt of the base .
What did I miss ...... ?
A want to learn amateur welder.
Cheers
Serge
