deep, hot, clean penetration is key to having things hold up for a long time. yup yup..<<strong weld in progress.

lol on a serious note though, he's right, now i weld huge heavy duty piping and auger bits for drilling foundation work under high rise buildings. most of my welds have to pass inspections and must have 80% minimum penetration. so yeah welding this stuff is easy. its up to u if you want me to weld it or a shop. most shops dont like cut out cages, they are hard to get to pass inspections some times...
