I'm by no means blaming the welder, it was 100 percent operator. I just put too bit of a gap between the pieces. That and I really should have warmed up the flange a little bit. Going from 1/2" flange to .110 pipe while filling that gap just made for some ugly welding.

I know better than to eye ball the measurement, I just got sloppy. 100% my fault.
