Sorry mate. It's an arc welder with crappy sticks and in a hurry as well(again
). (excuse excuse)
MIG welding is bit too much trouble atm with too much wire brushing & no bottle atm.
I reckon your advice to use TIG later to smooth it out is a good idea, but that means lot of wirebrushing and cleaning as well.
I'll see how it comes.
BTW, the metal I used are scrap ones with odd sizes that hangs around the backyard.
