same way ya dont in any other field... they dont care to learn to do it the right way.. so they just stick with what they think works... from the looks of those welds there it looks like the guy was running the amps way too cold..

Funny thing is I think there are 2 different welders. One wire and one stick... so he got them both wrong? Wow.
