    I don’t know if anyone said they’re dumb, just that they’re purely aesthetic and not needed for a good mig weld.

    Yea but in other welds and worlds, they for sure are not just aesthetic and definitely have a purpose

    Which is why I specified mig, and that you took the original conversation out of context.

    Outer Lenses are expensive and I swear they last 1/2 the time of flatter ones

    Then there’s this that was being done by a fellow “welder”

    This is why I get pissed when people say experience matters. This dude has 10+ years and on paper has been on the pipeline and can weld anything round.

    Meanwhile I’m younger and look worse on paper but would not leave stuff like this.

    Sliders with some TRD kickout fill plates. Took a picture from a different angle than usual this time for your viewing pleasure. Since all the other ones are always straight over the top.

    You just wanted to prove the pics weren't all of the same sliders.

    Gonna need pics with the days newspapers for documentation.

    Bwahahaha!
