lol, Cheers Bob, will def be sticking with the .6 as I found it a lot easier than when using the .8. Like you said before I have no doubt experience will let you use the .8 to good effect but I found the wire feed so sensitive with it it was hard to get to to where it felt right.
I'm assuming your referring to my wandering lines when you say about leaning on something? I'm actually finding it hard to see the metal behind the arc sometimes and finding I've wandered off line.
Phil, what you've said about using a longer length to get the settings right makes perfect sense. In my 'wisdom' I purposefully chose the short weld lengths to practice on as I was struggling with them, I think in hindsight I was just making things harder for myself, oops!
I've got just under 2m left of the box section, I was going to use it to make a wall bracket for my butler sink to go in the shed but that can wait. I'l try some long lengths, get happy with the settings and make another tree.
Thank you all
