practice project took on a life of its own

admin

first off, I appologize for the absence of progress pics. what started as a practice project to weld a flush end cap to a pipe and nut welding without warping the threads ( i hate when that happens )  kinda grew into either a lawn ornament or wine bottle holder.nothing thicker than 3/16" aside from the rail road spikes and most of the welds were a semi-circle pattern.  i took some close ups of some of the welds,  I know theyre painted over ( sorry ) Realgear 140 MIGMore DeWalt tools that I prolly needDIY 160 amp 40 OCV MOT Stick Welder
