I'm going to be welding for my first time tommorow. Any tips on what to look for while welding would be appreciated.

I'll be welding mild steel and a malable cast iron. I'm looking more for strength, but the welds need to be good as they will be done on an axle.

Thanks.

i weld alot now thanks to my new job... be sure you have proper equipment such as welding shield or mask and gloves. as far as welding just make sure its a good clean weld. try to keep the welding spots at an even height and be sure to weld both sides if possible for max strength...
