Some years back I was talking with a colleague about welding and he told me that there was two different categories of welders. One was an Ag (farmer) and the other was a professional welder. He then told me that the main difference was the Ag welder needed to have their welds strong and be able to get their equipment back out in the fields quickly. However, the professional welder not only had strong welds, but the beads are so pretty that you don't bother to grind on them to clean them up.
So I fall into the Ag category, since most of my welding is outside, I use either flux core or a stick, and I really don't care what the weld looks like (at least to a point  ), I just want then to be strong.
