My welding skills are slowly improving. Hopefully by the time my floors are finished I will be able to tackle some real stuff.

looks pretty good. IMO welding is easy it all depends on the welder you are using. i worked for a company welding railroad cars and we used 440 welders welding up to 1/2" steel and i could run a 20' bead with no stops and it was pretty, but at home all i got is these little 110v welders and my welds dont look all that good. so if you are using a 110 that weld looks darn good. keep at it.

Yeah it's a 110V welder. I tried using the repop rockers but they suck, they are to long, the profile is wrong for the corners and the spot for the door rubber is to short. Decided to weld up patch panels in my old rockers and use them.
