Re: My toy..

those welds dont look to be penetrating. granted its sheetmetal, but thats alot of work for not alot of return.. plus your going to have alot of gridning to do, grinding causes heat and that could turn into warping..

Re: My toy..

Just curious how you tell if a weld is penetrating .. or not ? Not trying to be a smart a** .. I'm asking cause I don't know.

What do you look for is a good sexy weld?
