No, it only has to look pretty to look pretty. If I put this kind of time & effort into a project, it's damn well gonna look pretty.

Its not the welder (machine) its the welder (person). He didnt have the heat and wirespeed right for that thickness of metal. Just grind it off and start over. Thats what I do when my welds on my rock crawler look like crap.
