[QUOTE="TXBobcat, post: 844220, member: 94"] I do it pretty much like the diagrams AC posted. However, I would add, it depends on the material you are joining together. If it is thick metal, and a critical load bearing weld, I would make sure it is as clean as possible, and do an uphill weld. If I am joining something like C-purlin to an angle iron clip, then I would probably weld downhill because I can still get plenty of penetration that way. Or, for instance, on pipe fence rails, I would start at the top (flat), weld around the side (downhill), then underneath (overhead), in one pass. [/QUOTE]
