I just got an antique ('85 vintage) Craftsman buzzbox and "attempted" to 
run some beads on a 1/4" plate.  I was using a 6013 rod (forgot what 
diameter) at about 100 amps.  Just looking for comments about whether or 
not I'm on track here or not.  Will be signing up for a welding class at 
the local community college this summer but thought that I would try to 
get a head start first.  Check out the attached photo of my beads.   
Thoughts? 
Thanks.
