Thanks again for the compliments, the welding is a work in progress.
He is getting a lot of practice and honestly the “amateur “ looking welds are mostly my fault
Bad fitment/gaps and asking him to weld in upside down hard to get positions
We did backpurge the tubes and I am pretty happy that even the small gaps , the weld is very smooth on the inside

But hey for homemade stuff it’s coming out pretty good for me
I’m happy so far , and honestly I have saved a ton of money doing all this myself
