As a person who has been a certified welder welding in various situations for the last 40 yrs. I know for a fact that if I had made welds like that on the jobs I welded on I would be asked to not weld anymore. Most of my welding experience was in the commercial construction end. Lots of welding from 20ga to 1/4" thicknesses. Most all the time the welds were inspected with an onsite welding inspector. Those welds on the frames in the pics are very sloppy. Sure they hold. But I just can't believe that frame makers can't find people that can run a nice bead. I mean after welding a few frames anyone welding should have the hang of it. It looks like welds you see when you have students in a welding class learning how to weld. But then I guess if someone took the time to lay a nice weld down then they couldn't produce as many frames. You kinda have to wonder what the welds look like on the newer aluminum frames for the walls are like.
