Probably wont get to actually weld for some time with entry level positions.
In addition:
Stacking dimes aluminum (just kidding though, that phrase bugs me it doesnt define a good weld)
Fooling around making a weave bead, not so much of a thing done on aluminum as with steel

They kind of remind me of those hammered fenders that generally look purdy awesome.
