Well an update but not much
I decided I didn't want the hassle of cleaning mill scale of the square tubing I get here so decided to try to get some cold rolled steel after a few promises that it can be got I have ended up drawing a blank so jut about wasted my 2 weeks holiday.
So feeling peed of tomorrow I will go and get a few lenths of 25 x 25 x 2mm black sh1t steel .
On a good note I made a stand for my Tig touch ,
Bought a 14 " chop saw (made in china as everything is here)
Word of warning if you buy a cheap Chinese chop saw first thing to do is take of the disc and bin it as on the second cut through 19mm steel tube it shattered no warning no vibrations or kick back just BANG scared the crap out of me .
went and bought a new Hitachi disc (still made in china) but seems to be fine.
maybe tomorrow I can get at least the bottom rails done.
