Nice and easy. Grinding nice and easy too cause grinding can play in the warping game too.

Regulators are video worthy.

Keep up the great work.
Happy Fathers Day.
Thanks Bomp, I tossed the parts and pieces before seeing this post

Thanks Man! Nice and slow usually isn't my way, but I'm learning real fast that that is the way when welding and grinding...

Imagine my surprise when the wife ordered me a screen curtain for the garage car entrance !!

I look at your welded in patch and I cringe at all the grinder time I see there!

I like to weld a little, grind a little, then I learned to go over it all with some 60 or 80 grit on a high speed sander !!
but not too hard.... I sanded down a patch area to paper thiness by accident one day !!

Good to see you really digging in on it ,,,,, way to go !!
I visited Montana back in '05 and was amazed at the lack of bugs, in fact my ex-bro in law visited us here in Arkansas in July and called this "Hell with Bugs." Alaska must have some MUTANT Skeeterz...
... as for the grinding, this is my first ever metal repair work and I have to say, every moment seems to be a moment... All the encouraging words, and exhortations to take it slow seem to pop in my head just after I think I go a bit too far too fast, got an oil can effect along the corner of the weld...

Living and Learning!!! Will figure it all out eventually!!!
