That can be so subjective. I did a job like that and we found a railing on a nearby building that had very good looking welds. The contractor and I agreed that these welds would be the criteria that had to be matched on our job. It worked.

Subject: welding spec for appearance
I am helping the architect with some custom handrail connections. Considering the amount of effort that is being put into these handrails, I want to be sure that the appearance of the exposed welds matches the rest of the construction. What specification or requirements should I use to ensure a nice looking weld. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andy Richardson
