Steel Crucible

[doubleboost]

Hi
Lads
It is a bit on the cold side hear today a bit of welding should warm things up
Rob wilson kindly cut me a base for my crucible
This was tacked in place with a MIG welder
The job was then warmed up with a big propane torch

A root weld was then put in with a TIG welder
140 amps mild steel filler rod


Plenty of penatration
A bead of Mig was then ran in
160 amp 0.8 mild steel wire

Just to finish the job a couple of runs of MMA (stick) weld as a cap
120 amp 2.5 general purpose rod

A bit rub up with the grinder
