lower your amperage and weave from one side of the bevel to the other keeping your rod angle always below your puddle as to push it up. pretty simple really. Hard part is mastering just that.

Tyler,

Though the pic was a bit blurry, those look pretty good. 

You just wanting to compare yourself with others, or is there something in particular you are looking for? 

Have a Great Day,  Brent

Im trying to find some of the best looking caps so I can improve. I find the cap puts the finishing touch on a weld.

I like a slight drag with a slight side to side until getting to the bottom.  Coming into the bottom I like to work into a slight push, going into either circles or a minor whip with the electrode.

I wish mine looked that nice Tyler. The bottom is still kickin my tail with 3/16, but getting more consistent.
