Default Bonjour everyone....

Sorry I didn't post any pictures last night...... after 13 hours playing outside a bowl of warm soup, a beer and the heat from the house did me in and crashed early.....

Stay tuned.....

In reply to Phil.... Yes both welding hoods have auto darkening lens which works wonders when you are doing delicate stich welding....... I had mine up to examine closely what I had jsut done...... also if you talk to much with the hood down is fogs up.
The deliceta part of the aelding is using a 18 guage sheet metal against painted angle iron..... I find I have to start on the clean sheet and move onto the angle using enough heat to get good penetration..... cleanmetal is always preferrable.... we were trying to avoid grinding the angle to bare metal which would then be covered with thenew sheet metal making it impossible to seal up the bare metal underneath. We plan to drip in some POR 15 in the gaps to properly seal against rust.

Pictures tonite I promise...

Bob
