Do you remove mill scale before you weld? I'm genuinely curious, be honest now.

Just made a video testing this out with short circuit MIG: https://youtu.be/ZrQ8smzq5-Q

From concept to completion, this was a really fun project and it turned out great! It's amazing how much more affordable and accessible design tech is today compared to a decade ago. I used CAD that's available to anyone and SendCutSend's laser cutting service so that I could focus on the fun parts...design and welding.
