A method and test block for controlling weld penetration depth in a work piece are disclosed. The test block simulates a work piece relative to a welding process of the work piece. The test block includes a test welding path. The test welding path replicates a production welding path on a weld surface of the work piece. The test block includes a melt-thru surface that underlies the test welding path. The melt-thru surface is spaced apart from the test welding path by a spacing that decreases along a length of the test welding path. The spacing varies from more than a standard weld penetration depth to less than the standard weld penetration depth.
