Doesn't that failure NEXT to the joint mean that he didn't "normalize"
the weld ?

I didnt write "next to the joint" I wrote a little way off beside the
weld. in other words no it wasnt a normalisation failure.
it was a two tons of brute force crushing failure.

it resulted in a sonerai.

I'm learning to weld now with my new Henrob torch & am having fun
welding A.S. cuttoff box tubing then beating it to death with a
hammer...

How far away from the weld is a "normalization falure" verses, "My weld
kicks but and the steel failed"??
