How do these look? Do you think they are strong? I just recently learned how to do the stacked dimes like this, but I just want to know how effective they are

If this 6010 it’s need to be a bit tighter

6011, same difference? But yeah I kinda figured that anyways

Other than that I’d clean it up a bit more but it looks pretty solid to me

Welds done like that are considerably weaker than a properly performed one. Every little "dime" introduces undercut and possible inclusions. If you're stuck on doing them like that, save them for aesthetics and run normal beads on anything structural.

That’s what I thought. It just doesn’t look nearly as strong as a normal bead, I just wanted to try something different as this was just on a practice plate, I just think they look nice. I’d never do it on a test or something like that

Looks good. The only part that I still struggle with is keeping the pauses even.

There is zero reinforcement and a bunch of notch effects....tighten up your weld steps and fill it up. You want a descent effective throat.

Sorry for the wonky video and not just a solid picture but I didn’t think to save one at school
