Patrick brings up a good point!!
I have been welding roughly a year now at home and at work. I have welded up some things I wanted to be dead on. I like to weld things up like torquing head bolts, tack welds every 3 inches squaring things up, alternate sides and allow to cool some. I have noticed that if I get the dreaded "Ping" while cooling, something cooled rapidly. Get the tape measure out and check it. Using this method I have been managed to get things square within a couple of millimeters.
Granted I am not a professional welder, but a little thought and patience goes a long way.
