Neat finishing up job for this project, Rob.  They look 'lifetime usable' to me.  You'll be an old coot before you wear them out!
Good thread!

Once again:  :bow:  :clap: :bow:  :clap: :bow:

Your metal bashing skills are awesome Rob. I've only seen one other person weld as well as you, and he doesn't do any machining, so you're more multiskilled than he... I just wish I could weld even 1% as well as you can, that'd be enough to see me through.

Cheers!

Hi Rob ,,,,,,,,,, cheers  :beer:   your more than welcome to a couple of sets  :thumbup:  ,,,,,,,, when you popping over to collect them  :D


Thanks Ade   ,,,,,,,,,  My welding is passable ,it  pales  into comparison to some of the lads i see TIG welding at one of the places i go to  ,,,, when you see them welding using a mirror to see what they are welding , because they cant get there head in , :bugeye:, pipe work in nuke subs  .
The more welding you do the easier it will become , you should have seen some of my first welds ,, lots of smoke and sparks ,,,, not allot of weld   :doh:  :lol: :lol:

Dave if your lookin ,,,,,,,,,, stop using that welder as a seat  :poke: :poke:  :lol: :lol: :) :)


Thanks Rob  :thumbup:

Quite true Rob, I should. It's not very comfortable anyway. What it needs is some sort of frame thingy made to attach a substantial cushion on top.

Maybe I should do a sketch of what I need, then get someone with a welder to make it. Would use mine, but I'm sitting on it at the mo.  :lol:
