1. The Alleyana bust is home! Now I have larger than life-sized busts of two of my oldest OCs. I feel accomplished.
2. Overhead fillet weld, meaning it was above eye level when I did it. Got a 97!
3. Groove weld I was doing today which was then cut into coupons, ground smooth on both sides, and bent into sharp U shapes with the weld at the point. One facing up, and one facing down, and then inspected for defects. One had two tiny spots and the other had one tiny spot, so my grade on both was another 97.
But also, look at how pretty my welds are getting. I’m finally starting to see relatively uniform ripples on half or more of each bead! I may genuinely have a future with TIG.
