The Orion MK1
 
I stipped the Orion down in December or something and found some rust(what else is new), so I did some welding, never done it before so this is some learning.

Here's the seat mount of the left side, this was my first welding, looks like shit :wall: :wall:

Here the right side, looks fairly nice I think :cool:

Left side looks like shit, the metal was so thin it instantly burnt holes, so that needed to be closed:

Here the carrier(is that how you call it? :roll: ) of the left side, it looks fine, but after I was done with the chisel, there wasn't anything left.
Now it's in one piece again :DD:
