I figured I would just share with fellow welders that last Friday I took a 2G GMAW Pipe test. 2" Sch 80. Welded a 1st pipe and a backup. They never even looked at the backup. Also interesting thing...I never practiced this set up at all. This was my first time welding this set up.

Im proud of myself and I have my eye on 6G. Im going to have to practice, but I know I can do it.
