Great design for allowing movement of thermal expansion, and ease of assembly!
Checked out your YouTube channel and saw the welding video. (The thumbnail made me think it was a fireworks show! 🤣)
One possibility on the lack of penetration with the Eastwood welder would be if polarity is set reverse of what the process needs (DCEP/DCEN) flux core and gas shielded wire use different polarity usually. Another to look into, is a poor ground connection or poor power connection to the welding gun/wire it’s self.
Comments are off on your videos, perhaps because they are set as “appropriate for kids” these are both rather elementary things, so no offense intended if they are unhelpful, I just know I had these problems with a flux core wire for stainless needing the opposite of normal flux core settings, and that solid ground and welding current connections in a welding setup, are critical.
Check any internal heavy guage connections to the ground and the welding lead, as well as the ground clamp’s connection at the workpiece. You can rule out the MIG gun/cable by swapping from the other machine, if they use the same connection.
I love the shot down the throat of the burning unit in your shorts. I assume you had ceramic glass on top?

Hi Coastal; The short video of the double ram's horns was shot with no glass. The gasses slow down significantly with the new tapered riser directly after the narrow section. Unlike a conventional riser blasting its gasses skyward, it was easy to film from above.
I'll check your suggestions on the Eastwood, it is useless as it is.
