This was one of my first attempts at welding aluminium with the MIG. It turned out pretty good. I've bought an AC/DC TIG now so there's no need to mess around with the MIG on aluminium any more.

Since this picture I've linished them and given them a brushed finish rather than polished.

awesome bead Mike! looks like a row of brand new shiny dimes.
