Whip the customer said they were too flowery (I thought they looked like crowns) so i redesigned them and he liked them
, Pics below
No mate that is untidy TIG welding, I was given some Ceirated Tungstens to try out so tried them where it wouldn't show, I've gone back to my thoarated tungstens now as i wasn't keen on the way they welded.

And and as brother Don says, I just find it impossible to except that this is a cheapie quick rough build. Yeah Right!!

Oh c'mon Steve........the guy at the welding supply shop says the ceriated is "just as good as the thoriated".
And without the radiation!

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

Bob i tried them on stainless and steel, On stainless they seem ok but still not as good as the thorated, don't know why, maybe they need more shielding gas ???

Well it stopped raining for a while so i cracked on with the rest of the engine mounts, I didn't want the motor high in the rame so used alternative mounting positions.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
