well done mate, coming together nicely :top:

Moose 130 12-11-2007 08:12 PM

I don't want to take the piss, but the most constructive advise I could give you would be to get some lessons in welding.

Most local colleges run evening classes.

I would say you need a higher setting to get penetration. Most of your welding appears to sit on top of the metal.

But well done for the work so far, keep going!!

Mr Sam 14-11-2007 06:04 PM

constructive critisism totally welcome somone had mentioned turn the power and wire feed up and welding ive done since that bit is miles better

https://i243.photobucket.com/albums/...a/DSCF0051.jpg
