I put my bifocals on and see some inconsistent spacing, but not slag inclusions on the toes-if that is what he's calling "wagon tracks"? I've run roots before with less than perfect visuals on the toes, all uphill root, (hot and fill -same pass on 1" in this case), cap with 6010 on 1" pipe 6G test and still passed the films. The x-rays show slag inclusions if any. See what I'm getting at here? If necessary, you can grind the root to clean it up before running your hot pass, fills, and cap.
I really don't see what your prof is up in the air about. I'd like to for him spend a week with me or Rig Hand or JTMcC's boys cranking out #40-#50 of cellulose rods a day. Some guys have cush-cush jobs and like to make things up to create a better image for themselves.
Maybe there is slag trapped along the toes, but I can't see it. Personally speaking Rig Hand did a fine job of showing you stepping a xx10 rod by example weld!
Have the teach throw out a "quicky" and let us evaluate his work. Yea. Right! Like that's goinna happen. Sorry-a little east Tennessee slang. I guess he's too busy criticizing other people's work-other people who do it for a living. It ain't no cush cush job I promise that my friend!
BTW: I mean no disrespect toward you sir. My irritation and resentment is aimed at your teacher.
