Well, Spent an hour trying to drag what I learnt at college 18 years ago back out of my alcohol and fume affected brain!

Wasn't too happy with my first few attempts. so went on mig welding forum for a bit of a read :)

And hey presto... upped the wire speed and bingo, some semblance of penetration to the weld and bish bash bosh.... stuff stuck together!

Maybe shouldn't mention to the wife that I nearly set fire to my build table though eh?

OK, onwards and upwards. Time to decide wether to buy steel and cut myself or get a flat pack kit. Leaning towards the latter currently, but I will have to sell a few more bits and bobs on ebay..... stay still child, I need to stick a price label on you..........
