eww get some real steel
that galvanized crap will give you a masive headache if you weld too much of it(see that white crap)

you dont want to be breathing it too much

keep practicing, i would'nt buy anything over 1/8" for that machine to practice on

good luck

drink some milk after welding that shit, the fumes are poisonous! with that lil amount you posted you should be fine tho

as for the weld it looks cold, crank up the heat and take your time dont rush it, i never welded with flux core so i cant help much, good luck

Its about time you got a welder :-). Be careful welding galvanized, try not to breath in the fumes, it will make you barf. The weld sucks, but its your first time so keep trying. Go to www.hobartwelders.com/mboard to learn more about welding. Also how many amps is that machine?

i got a tip for ya, try to find a handbook/guide book with different types of welds in it, you can probably find one at home depot or at a community college bookstore by your house. practice welding edge to edge in a 90degree angle, then flat. you'll get more experience, but keep it up, you'll get the hang of it.

ya that weld isnt too good man, you need to read up on welding techniques and machine adjustments and get some mild steel, nothing galvanized.
