I'm curious about the stray arc thing? What does it do to the metal that makes it so awful? I haven't touched an arc welder since high school. I think my welds were just strays so closely put together they joined the metal? Haha

I'm guessing the reason you don't see pretty welds is because they are strictly for structural purposes. If he's welding a tank in a show car, versus some underground piping I sure hope it would be pretty as well.
