TIG welding alloy frame

[Micktoon]

Hi All , just a couple of photos of the finished rail fitted in its final position , it seems to match in ok and all fitted first time so everyone is happy .





I still have two brackets to make that will bolt onto the rails that are used for storing some wood batons , more alloy welding , so I will try to get better photos of the process next time.

John the amps were about 150 on the hinge parts that were up to 10mm thick and it was about 130amps for the box to box joints that were about 3mm thick wall. I only had 2.4mm tungstens and should have went up to 3.2mm but my new 3.2mm collet body was a faulty one so had to jump to 4mm and it was a bit low amps for the 4mm I think ? The weder is a 220amp but the electrics and breakers trip after it reaches 150amps

Ed I made the welding table with scrap yard stuff years ago , but had to buy the top plate , its 10mm thick , I am thinking of drilling and tapping some holes into it to fix jig type things to but really need the lend of a magnetic drill to do the holes .....its on the 'to-do list' lol

Cheers Mick.
