Getting better at my tig work. Here is a shot.

The t joint was my first joint of 6 on this 1/4" plate setup and the lap joint was my last.

Tig welding

So I've moved up to doing test plates for tig. My first one bent with no issues. Here is a shot of the root passes for the second plate. I shot it while waiting for the plate to cool.

Also some shots of 1 1/4" .120 wall ERW tubing that I will be using for a frame build after I'm done the course. I coped and tigged it and then put it in the destructive testing bender to see how it would hold up and it looks great.
